Man, Audacy Buffalo has been losing long-timers left and right.

Looks like Audacy is as good to its employees as Bell is in Canada.
I've always been sad about Buffalo. It was once such a fantastic market with incredible talent for its size. The personalities that populated WGR, WKBW and WBEN in the 60s and 70s were legendary. And those are just three stations. I could mention even more.
It was a different time in radio, of course, and those days are long gone. But the differences between AM and FM aside, man what great sounding stations they were.

Sounds like the latest layoffs did not involve Bell Media.

The difference is that Audacy didn't have someone like Dave Agar, who-quite rightly-was ANGRY at a round of cuts by Bell...so much so that he wanted CFRB to take his name OFF that station's newsroom. No one named a newsroom in Buffalo after, say, Don Dussias or Ed Little(just two of the MANY news giants who did radio in Buffalo. And, yes, I know..."why did you forget Irv?").
