Clear Channel Fires Several DJs Across the Country



Clear Channel Communications, the largest radio station operator in the United States, dismissed dozens of local D.J.’s this week, affecting small stations from Syracuse to Spokane, Wash., and raising fresh concerns about the homogenization of radio programming.

Clear Channel Communications, the largest radio station operator in the United States, dismissed dozens of local D.J.’s this week.Clear Channel Radio, which operates about 850 stations in the United States and employs 12,000 people, declined to say how many employees were dismissed, but some of the D.J.’s said they believed that the number was in the hundreds.

The company said the layoffs were not made to cut costs but were part of a revamping of its about 600 regional radio stations. (Its 250 other stations are in large markets like New York and Los Angeles.)

“We’ve completely rethought our regional market strategy and reinvented our operations in those markets in a way that will let us compete on a new level — and succeed using all of Clear Channel’s resources, scale and talent,” a company spokeswoman, Wendy Goldberg, said Thursday.
