The most vulnerable were those in programming (on and off-air), engineering, I.T., and “business office” jobs such as traffic and continuity. Some familiar on-air names are missing, and the best way to track those is through the individual-market message boards at Radio-Info.com. The 590 cuts today are on top of the 1,850 positions eliminated on January 20. Many of the Inauguration Day budget cuts were in sales, while that department was spared this time. Clear Channel says it’s trying to be generous with severance. For perspective, CC has trimmed 2,440 jobs so far this year out of a total of about 900 radio stations. It’s also cutting some corporate-level functions such as marketing. The total percentage of people cut in 2009 is about 11.7% – and John Hogan says he believes these are all the cuts that will be necessary.
