Reversing course after the reduction if force that saw several hundred Audacy employees lose their jobs last Thursday, the company’s news/talk WCCO, Minneapolis is bringing evening host Henry Lake and co-host Chris Tubbs back. BringMetheNews reports that the show returned to the air on Friday. Lake opened
Friday’s show saying, “Has the last 36 hours been a little bit awkward? Not gonna sit here and lie. I am thankful. I am happy to be here. Happy to be speaking with you. Happy to be doing a show to all of you on this iconic radio station.” Lake added, “We know that there were some national layoffs yesterday, and I want to note that because we know that industries all over the country are going through some rough times – and radio is not immune to that. I’ve got colleagues in other markets that unfortunately lost their jobs, and for a short time yesterday, it looked like me and Chris were in that same situation. I feel gratitude. I’m thankful that we’ve got good leadership here at WCCO, and the higher-ups appreciate me and Chris.”
