On the heels of Bill Squire’s departure from the “Alan Cox Show” at WMMS Cleveland, Mary Santora also departed. On Instagram, she posted, “Yes, I too was let go from iHeart this morning due to ‘restructuring.’ They say it came down from a corporate level and had nothing to do with our ratings, performance, etc., and that hundreds of others lost jobs across the country today as well. I have no answers. Idk what is happening with ACS; all I know is that, as of today, I am no longer a part of it. While this is all very shocking and upsetting, it only confirms my decision to put all of myself into stand up, I’m just going to be doing it 6 weeks earlier than anticipated. love you all so much and hope you will stick around for all the big things to come, bc they are already in the works.”
