Audacy, a major U.S. radio and podcast company, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to cut down its debt by 80%, reducing it to approximately $350 million from $1.9 billion. The company's CEO, David Field, cited a "perfect storm" of economic challenges and a decline in traditional advertising revenue as the reasons for the financial strain. Audacy, which owns numerous radio stations including prominent ones like WFAN Sports Radio and New York's 1010 WINS, aims to restructure its balance sheet through this process.
