Clear Channel Radio Axes Corporate Marketing

Clear Channel Communications has fired its entire corporate marketing department. The radio division also laid off a number of employees in other areas and stopped matching 401(k) contributions. Among the high-profile pink slip recipients are the hosts of "Brian and Joe," the morning duo at Cleveland's WMVX; Tommy Bodean, the production director and music director at WNOK in Columbia, SC; Charlie James, the morning talker at WVOC-AM, also in Columbia.
