In what could be the largest round of layoffs since January 2020, massive cuts are taking place at iHeartMedia today.

The cuts affect major names at all levels of the company as the company begins to introduce a new operating structure following recent corporate restructuring. iHeart has moved to more regionalized operations at the market management level, which we’ve learned is also impacting its promotions and sales teams. Most of the stations’ daily programs are taken over by the national program teams.

We’ve already heard from many major names affected by the cuts, but will only be publishing those who have gone public with their exits:
