NotTV: Owner of ex-CBS radio props renames self

[Bob Jersey]

Entercom Communications is now... Audacy.

Radio.com now answers to audacy.com.  Entercom.com likewise with audacyinc.com.

Now I wonder if they'll pester the government of their Philly-suburb hometown to change its name from Bala Cynwyd... nobody outside that area pronounces that properly either...

I assume people in Wales do since it's a Welsh name.

I worked in Bala Cynwyd for 15 years. 

(Down the hall from some radio stations, actually.)

I probably spelled it out over the phone hundreds of times.

If that was 555 City Avenue, that housed their music stations... but late 2019/early '20 they moved corporate HQ and, eventually, those and other stations they own in the area to a larger building between Market and Chestnut streets in center city Philly... https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2019/12/27/inside-entercoms-new-headquarters-at-2400-market.html (link; possible soft paywall)

Beasley Media, with whom CBS swapped stations in 2014 (ISTR posting about it here), still uses 555.   B
