iHeartMedia has laid off its last two full-time local on-air personalities in Erie as part of a nationwide cost-cutting initiative. These layoffs are intended to save the company up to $150 million. The affected stations will now primarily feature syndicated programming from outside the local area. This shift leaves the broadcast studios empty of local talent. Former station owners and employees emphasize the importance of local personalities for listener connection.

Bloomberg Radio has carried out a round of layoffs that included several high-profile departures. Among those leaving is Michael Lysak, the company’s head of global radio and TV syndication. Also cut were Nancy Lyons, an afternoon business anchor with prior experience at NPR, AP Radio Network, and CBS Radio, and Jeff Bellinger, a longtime business journalist who previously worked at CNBC, ABC, and The Wall Street Journal.

Additionally, Tracy Johnke, who joined Bloomberg Radio in 2015 after working at CBS Radio and WTOP in Washington, D.C., is departing after a decade with the company.
