Hot Air: No official word, but Apple Music Radio is rumored to be ending its relationship with staffing vendor Aquent through which many of the platform's staffers in producer and related roles are employed. In Nashville, approximately 20 people have been notified that their Aquent-sourced roles will end in mid-June. Apple recently posted three full-time Apple-employee positions, and the unnamed new staffing vendor is also expected to be hiring. How many current Nashville staff will ultimately be displaced remains unclear. The platform has been quietly cutting back on fully produced programming over the past several months.
