Clear Channel cuts jobs in Youngstown

By Tom Lavery

Youngstown: Our friends over at Ohio Media Watch has a long list of job cuts involving Clear Channel owned stations in the Buckeye state. Among those are some in Youngstown. They include Dan Gonder of Nostalgia WNIO 1390 (AM Drive) and Hot AC "Mix 98.9" (PM Drive). Others on the list include Sean Stevens who was Program Director at CHR "95.9 Kiss FM" (WAKZ) and a couple from WKBN 570 including News Director John Nagy and Lorraine Hall who also handled news duties for the News Talk outlet. The cuts at Clear Channel are nationwide including outlets in Cleveland, Toledo and Cincinnati. Surprisingly, no jobs were cut at any of the Pittsburgh area CC stations this time around according to Radio and Records. The job cuts amount to 2,500 since January including some at the corporate headquarters in San Antonio.
