A few hours after Leslie Fram discussed how the COVID-19 outbreak might affect the entertainment industry — and talked about bringing DIY hand sanitizer to victims of the deadly March 3 tornado that devastated Middle Tennessee — the Nashville-based exec found out she had her own brush with the virus.
Fram, the senior vp of music strategy at CMT (Country Music Television), was among the network staffers who worked a March 5 Rebuilding Tennessee Telethon where an attendee tested positive for the coronavirus.
Now, like most Americans, Fram and her 60-person team are working remotely. Just before she shifted to her home office (and again over the phone), the Alabama native and radio veteran sat down with THR to talk about keeping one foot in.
