As the nation's economic woes continue to wear on the radio and record industry, we are compiling a list of radio professionals who have fallen victim to job cuts beginning Sept. 1, 2008, in an effort to help them network. Anyone wishing to add their name and contact information to this list can send an e-mail to newsroom@radioandrecords.com. Include station owner, format, call letters, market, date of layoff and your contact information (e-mail, phone).
