And he quit because he wanted more? What an idiot! He wasn't that talented IMO and should have been damn happy with that, specially back 10-12 yrs ago!

That's over how much time?

That's always been Howard's excuse for paying people shit. jackie had the nerve to expect more $$ as the Stern show was adding station after station.

That's the difference between Howard and Bubba. Bubba adds a new market, his guys get a raise.

Howard said that was how much Jackie told a reporter he was making. Howard also used the ole "I don't talk salaries" routine. Howie did bust up on a lawsuit rant about Sirius but of course won't say how much that is for.

In reality, I think all of these radio/teevee people are dramatically overpaid. As well as athletes, but it is only because people are willing to pay I guess. As long as consumers use the shit, they will continue.

See, what makes this worse his attempt to sabotage any outside projects his people do. Scott the Engineer, Sal and Richard's live shows, Booey's book and gigs, etc. All of those have been shit on by Howard at some point. He should be flattered people care enough about his show to go to these events, and be happy for his people. But that's not how Howard's mind works.

Honestly, I think the very rare exceptions are Bubba and Scott because they went through the same things he did, and he considers them peers. You hear Stern talk, and he seems to believe everyone should have to go through the same path he did to be respected.

yeah, as well all know, Howie is only in it for Howie...and chatterbox Robin!

Are these commercials airing on FM or just IO? Ledge's sounds pretty cool. Mystery music in the background.

That's too bad. Wouldn't hurt if they could cross-promote.

Break time---I gotta walk out to the mailbox. I'm so excited

He got a nice radioIO plug on FM today, mentioned buying more stock, etc. I'm sure Bubba is shitting himself in fear over McDish's big BRP boycott.

Even though I don't agree with this bit, I like it!!

[Chob]

Manson plays it live doesn't he? Or he did rather when they were still doing it.

[milkman]
