Bulletin hears that C2 Records, the offshoot that Columbia Records formed in 1998, is dropping its separate promotion staff in the aftermath of the exit of senior VP of promotion Dennis Reese.

Asked to comment on the fate of the C2 promotion department, a Columbia

spokesman said things are "still being worked out."

The label is home to superstar Ricky Martin, Joey McIntyre, and the soundtrack to "The Sopranos." The spokesman said the C2 logo will be retained.

Reese is believed to have taken a post at Elektra Entertainment. At C2, Reese reported to Columbia senior VP of promotion Jerry Blair, who is thought to be mulling a move to Arista.
