Entercom Making Large-scale Cuts

• UPDATING: RAMP continues to update the list of recent Entercom personnel cuts:

Downsizing in the Phoenix market has adversely affected Tim Richards, VP of Branding for the cluster, Nina D, afternoon talent on Country KMLE and KMLE APD/midday talent Jared “Marshall” Goldberg, who doubled as Digital PD for the cluster.

Richards said, “I have a tremendous sense of gratitude for the opportunity, the incredible Phoenix team and the amazing moments over the past 7 1/2 years. The people I’ve gotten to know and work with here are family. They are some of the best in the business. Thanks to Dave Pugh, Pat Paxton, Jeff Sottolano, Tim Pohlman, Jeff Kapugi and a list of others too long to mention here. Looking forward, I’ve never given less than 100% of my efforts and my results speak for themselves. I will give the same effort and passion in the next chapter.” Reach Tim at 520-240-0247 or tim915@gmail.com.
