Well, I can't say that if I was in their position I wouldn't try to grab all the money making efforts thrown my way that I could. There's an adage in radio that "you're only as good as your last ratings book". And that saying alive and well I'm said to say. Overall radio pay is atrocious, unless you are a Stern, Imus, Limbaugh, Rick Dees etc. But even they had to work for less than a burger flipper at Mickey D's at some point. Rush talks a lot about that phase of his radio career. So I think they are just striking while the iron is hot so to speak. When I signed on the dotted line to go back active duty, I immediately got a $400 a month raise over what I was making as a Program Director for Clear Channel. And my station was #1 in it's demographic for two books and showed a rise in the numbers for three consecutive books. If I was in their position with their ratings and listening audiences, I wouldn't do anything different.

Here in the Philadelphia area from 9 to noon, we are subjected to the worst 3 hours of "talk radio", Glenn Beck.... talk about a guy stealing money. Would someone please tell me how this guy got to be syndicated? A waste of 50,000 Watts of broadcasting.

I'm told that I'm out of the loop, the age factor (57), so I don't count. You must have knowledge of his ratings.... no one from WPHT 1210 AM will post the results.
