Fram Exits CMT
Fram Exits CMT: As first tipped by Country Aircheck (CAT 9/25), CMT SVP/Music & Talent Leslie Fram has exited. Her last day was yesterday (9/30). Fram, along with several other CMT staffers, were affected by layoffs at Paramount Global last week. During her tenure, Fram championed programs including the CMT Next Women of Country, Equal Play and Equal Access. She joined the company in 2011 (CAT 8/16/11) after radio stops at Rock WRXP/New York, Top 40 radio in Mobile, AL and Alternative WNNX/Atlanta, where she continues to co-host mornings after re-joining last year.
