After making previous staff purges on the same day in previous years, Clear Channel has taken a more stealth approach to layoffs this summer as they have spread the cuts over several weeks. This round of cuts have seen quite a few veteran staffers replaced by part-timers, syndication, or staffers from smaller markets moved up.

Update 8/19: And the hits just keep on coming.

Lauren MacLeash, PD of Modern AC “Cities 97” KTCZ and Classic Hits “Kool 108” KQQL Minneapolis is gone after 19 years with the company. Her duties are split as CHR 101.3 KDWB PD Rich Davis adds those duties at KTCZ and Country “K102” KEEY PD Gregg Swedberg adds them at KQQL.
