Audacy Inc. is implementing substantial workforce reductions, resulting in layoffs that affect hundreds of employees across various radio stations nationwide. This move, described as necessary to ensure a strong and resilient future, has led to the cancellation of popular local shows in Kansas City, including the Johnny Dare Morning Show and others. Notable hosts, such as David O’Leary and Erin O’Malley, are among those impacted by these cuts. The layoffs reportedly aim to streamline operations in the wake of recent financial difficulties faced by the company.
