I'm not a lawyer, but a friend is and he explained to me that Howie's big mistake was opening his big mouth! (Even the judge said that) If he had QUIETLY negotiated a contract with Greater Media-but not SIGNED it until his present one expired, WRKO would be up s**t's creek without a paddle. By signing the Greater Media contract BEFORE his WRKO one ran out-and then announcing to the world that he had, Howie opened the door for WRKO to match their offer-which apparently WRKO did.
Now they likely OWN his contract-and him-for another five years.
The Navy has a saying: "Loose lips sink ships!" In Howie's case it's starting to look like HIS loose lips sunk his chances for FM talk.
BUT...don't cry for Howie! 1.4 MILLION dollars a year buys a lot of Kleenex to mop uphis tears!
