With the end of CCR's corporate marketing department, all staffers are leaving the company, including senior vice president of marketing Sanda Coyle and her top executives.
The company didn't specify how many employees were affected by the cutback. Overall, at the beginning of this year, Clear Channel Communications employed about 800 people in its corporate operations, out of a total 21,300 employees worldwide. The company laid off about 1,850 employees in January, bringing the total down to about 19,450, with 1,500 of the layoffs coming at the radio division.
The demise of the corporate marketing department was followed by a wider set of layoffs, including a number of local on-air personalities.--Erik Sass
