I just saw Jerry Springer on TV and he said he was not making a penny from Air America. I got the impression that the hosts work on a percentage of the gross. Since the gross is near zero they certainly don't get paid much if anything.

"I got the impression that the hosts work on a percentage of the gross. "

Franken was getting something like $7 million a year in salary last I heard. Anybody remember the actual number?

Jerry Springer's show, carried on 30 stations nationwide, isn't produced by AA but they consider it theirs and count any station as an AA affiliate that only caries only his show. When Springer hit the airwaves it allowed AA to add about two dozen stations to their overly important affiliate total at one time.

Now for the funny part. Most libs hate his show and wish it was gone. They're jumping up and down for joy at bad news for Springer's show, not realizing that their golden quantity over quality affiliate count would take a severe hit to the tune of around a 20 station drop in one day.
