Bruno was NOT offered ANY pay raise at FSR and was actually told to take a huge cut Clear Channel was slashing salaries under corporate orders.
His deal at Sporting News is probably a question of length of deal and these guys don't want to sign a 3 -yr deal when they'll probably be out of business long before then.
So stop spouting these lies and bad guesses without any kind of legit info.
Bruno hasn't jumped any shark. He's had bad representation and wasn't fortunate like Rome and Patrick to have companies support and market him accordingly. As for negotiating on the air: no one has done it more than that putz Jim Rome. He would spend months on end lying about how he was going to do either radio or tv and "not both" because of his new kid, then got Premiere to panic and give him millions to stop doing his dead-inthe-water Fox Sports Net turkey show. Less than a year later, he was back on TV with that brutal Rome is burning atrocity on ESPN.
Bruno is in a bad spot because the entire broadcast world is trying to make more with less. Just read the headlines on this site and other radio/tv sites. Big companies like CBS, Clear Channel, Cumulus etc are firing people and not renewing contracts at a record pace. His talent is unquestioned in the awful sports radio format, but he doesn't have many, if any national options left.
