PO'd normally means "Pissed off" or of course if you asked fishbro it might mean "pissed on"

but in the case you mention it almost certainly means "Phone Operator" or what is also commonly referred to as a "booker" or assistant.  

 
I don't particularly like the term, but no one asked my opinion before creating it. lol

regionalisms

PO is the usual term in SF bay area; booker is the usual term in LA/OC for that function.        
In other places i don't know; maybe someone will chime in with a different term used somewhere.  

PO is not the same as Org Boss and not the same as Pimp and not the same as Mamasan, just to head off one of the possible trainwrecks.

in SoCal where the booker and the "org boss" are one and the same.  There may be some others that I'm not aware of yet, but generally speaking, as you say, they are not the same.

I have known several agencies where the "booker/PO" was also the owner

But of course that hardly means that it's always or even often that way.  Just like in some restaurants the owner is also the chef, it hardly means that chef and owner can be used interchangeably.

 
so YES, I agree with the both of you. lol
