More Alpha Departures: Following yesterday's departure of Alpha Country Format Captain MoJoe Roberts (CAT 4/14), the company has made additional cuts. "Alpha Media continues to work through many difficult decisions to cope with the current challenges we all face brought about by COVID-19," says CEO Bob Proffitt. "We are positioning the company to weather this challenge while trying to keep our valued team members safe and be poised to recover quickly once the crisis has passed." Proffitt's memo states that prior to any staffing cuts or furloughs, Alpha's executive leadership team proactively reduced their own compensation. Among those departing are:
