XM Satellite Radio’s chief creative office Lee Abrams has resigned from the company today, according to a letter sent out to employees this morning.
Abrams, who joined XM in 1998, will be part of a new company starting in April. Further details on his next endeavor will reportedly be available tomorrow.
“It
is with mixed emotions that I announce to the company that Lee Abrams
has resigned,” wrote EVP of Programming Eric Logan in a letter to XM employees.“Lee’s
impact on XM and the entire satellite radio industry would be
impossible to capture in an email. However, everyone in our company
knows that Lee’s vision and creative force is a key reason why XM is as
successful as we are today,” added Logan.“Lee’s mark on our medium will be
remembered forever and we are grateful to have had Lee as one of our
founding programmers and architect of our programming philosophy.”
Lee’s last day with XM will be sometime in the next three weeks.
…I’m honestly at a loss for words.
