The second wave of Clear Channel cuts Tuesday (April 28) reportedly totaled 974 employees. This wave follows the Jan. 20 purge of 9%. Between round one and two, a total of 2,500 Clear Channel employees are now gone, or, nearly 12% of the total CC staff.
Below is a list of CC country radio staffers that we know of. If we missed anyone -- which is quite likely with 590 people let go in a single day -- please be sure and let us know, so we can publish contact information as soon as possible.
