Tracy Cloherty is out as PD

[underdog]

Seems Jivin was right :

ALL ACCESS has confirmed that budget cutting is underway at several CBS RADIO clusters.

In NEW YORK, TRACY CLOHERTY is out as PD of Alternative WXRK (92.3 K-ROCK) after just over seven months in the position. RICK MARTINI is also out as PD of AC WNEW (102.7 FRESH FM).

News WCBS-A/NEW YORK PD CRYS QUIMBY is also on the layoff list. The veteran news programmer lists KFWB-A and KNX-A/LOS ANGELES, and WBBM-A/CHICAGO among her stops during over 20 years with CBS RADIO, and has also worked in TV news at CNN. Reach CRYS at crys.quimby@yahoo.com.

Also in NEW YORK, WCBS-FM Promotion Dir. THERESA BEYER is out.

Seems Jivin was right :

I'm not surprised about Tracy's exit because it sounded like, in the on-air product, she did NOTHING.

I AM surprised about Rick Martini's exit, because it seemed he had turned the corner with WNEW.

That CBS-FM promotion director job... that gig has constant turnover.

I heard about this. It sounds like they are eliminating middle management, which possibly means that Chris Oliveri (Olive from the Sports Guys) may be running a cluster.
