As I would find out shortly after starting, the person who was responsible for a lot of the success of the company was Weezie Kramer. She knew how to demand a room, get your attention, motivate you and took absolutely zero bullsh--.

Various members of the sports, news, and music radio sectors who both work for or were previously employed by Audacy spoke with Barrett Media regarding Field's departure and the future direction of the company.

Field -- who has served as the company's President since 1998 and CEO since 2002, dating back to its days known as Entercom -- will shift to a role as a Special Advisor to the CEO and Board after his departure.

Twenty-five-year-old DiMaio, a resident of Holmdel, NJ, joined Audacy in March 2023 as a Performance Sales Account Manager.

Audacy also says it is preparing to exit the pre-packaged bankruptcy proceedings it initiated earlier this year.

"We have achieved a speedy confirmation of our prepackaged Plan, which will enable Audacy to pursue our strategic goals and opportunities in the dynamic audio business."

"I fully recognize that this has been a difficult period as we have coped with a long stretch of challenges and uncertainty."

After reaching an agreement with its creditors, Audacy has officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The lack of payment does not affect the company's ability to operate going forward.

Other radio companies may have offered similar bonus schemes in the past, but Audacy’s recent action caught my attention.
