Audacy has begun another significant round of personnel cuts. The latest reduction in force is said to be impacting multiple departments. The company continues to restructure as it just six months removed from emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
An Audacy rep issued a statement, “Audacy has made workforce reductions to ensure a strong and resilient future for the business. We are streamlining resources to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving media landscape and to best position Audacy to continue serving listeners and advertisers with excellence.”
