Cuts at Epic and Last.fm
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 12 December 2008
More doom and gloom, and as expected jobs have been cut at Sony’s Epic US division following the departure of its president Charlie Walk.
Promo execs are the first to go, but A&Rs are expected to be cut next. As previously reported, it’s thought Epic won’t be merged into Columbia, but is set to be revamped with a new top guard, likely to include successful singer songwriter Amanda Ghost.
Elsewhere in lay off news, CBS Interactive are laying off people which is relevant to music type because they own last.fm. It’s thought up to 20 people could go from the online music recommendation service.
