The names of people affected by the ongoing Cumulus Media layoffs continues to slowly trickle out.

There are couple reasons why the names are coming out slower than when other companies make large scale layoffs. We’re told that there is a backlog in exit paperwork being completed, which is preventing some of those affected from sharing their status. Additionally, in some markets there is nobody who knows how to update the station websites to remove departed staffers.
