Rodney,

In reference to your 99X radio blog piece...


*****Well, I can’t say Fat Kid’s salary was big portion of the show. But the morning show probably costs 99X upwards to $1 million, though it’s a big unfair since Leslie has other duties as well as program director so her entire salary shouldn’t be counted. The “Crash” Clark departure probably saved more bucks (though they do pay him for a couple more months.)*****


The 99X morning show is NOT "upwards to $1 million." Not even close. Someone's pulling your leg.
 
Jimmy admitted on the air that he pulls in 315k, I'm guessing that Fram makes considerably more, lets be conservative and say 350k. You are already pushing 700k without the lead guy Toucher and then there is Wally and Todd the Butler, plus whatever else they have off the air in expenses. I'm also guessing Crash is still pullin' salary for awhile and until yesterday they were payin Fat Kid...The 3 or 4 of them could easily count for over 300k. One million sounds pretty realistic as a conservative figure, it could be more.

I'm pretty sure that Jimmy "admitting" on the air that he pulls in 315k is not the same thing as Jimmy pulling in 315k. That said, if they really were paying Jimmy and Leslie Fram 700k for the numbers that show draws, then it won't be just the airstaff that gets the boot when Cumulus takes over.
