Cumulus Media's restructuring and budget cuts persist this week with the departure of morning hosts Mike D. DaSilva and Alexus Lee from Hip Hop Hot 106 in Providence, RI.
Additionally, Cumulus Media has broadened Whittle's responsibilities to include oversight of its Top 40 stations, now under the title of VP of CHR/Hot AC Formats.
The extended agreement also includes a new, non-exclusive sales and supply partnership for digital audio advertising monetization for Cumulus stations.
Borrell Associates projects that figure will climb considerably over the next four years as the industry undergoes what it describes as a "great reshuffling."
