11 workers laid off at 7 Toledo radio stations
Cumulus Media Inc. Friday laid off 11 full and part-time employees at its seven Toledo radio stations.
Nick Gnaw, Toledo market manager, did not return a call seeking comment. But Tom Watkins, host of the Toledo Today show on the firm’s WTOD-AM, said the cuts included on-air personalities, production personnel, and administrative staff.
Mr. Watkins was not part of the cuts, but said he resigned rather than accept a pay cut to minimum wage ordered for part-timers. The cuts were part of companywide cost-cutting, he added. Besides WTOD, the firm’s local holdings include WKKO-FM, WRQN-FM, WRWK-FM, WLQR-AM, WWWM-FM, and WXKR-FM.
