Kilar was due a $20 million payment if he was still on the payroll on May 1. My guess is he will still be on the payroll on May 1 and get his $20 million in return for firing a number of the on-air personalities and other considerations to help make the transition smoother than it might otherwise have been.
Better to pay him that money than get sued for it since it isn’t a for cause termination.
And, of course, if he doesn’t clean house as instructed, his termination would be for cause.
