No, I said they were "basically" giving the show away. They received somewhere in the area of $100 a month from each of their syndicated stations (around 25 to 30 stations or so), and he "said" he was sharing his share of that with Rob.
And I think you're missing the point of my post. And I don't want this to turn into yet another "D&M suck" thread. If you want that, there are plenty of other threads on that topic. I was just trying to give some info on what I've heard (on air) about the spending habits (or lack thereof) of WJFK/Infinity.
And I also never compared Rob's "on air" contributions to anyone on the old R&F staff. But if you've listened to the show for any amount of time, you'd know that Rob does do a lot of the behind the scenes writing and comes up with game ideas, hosts some of the game shows, does phone bits, etc., a la Billy Staples. And if Rob is not their "third man", who is? Rob started as an intern, just as many of the R&F staff did, and he's now part of the show, like him or not, and yet he's still not getting paid (by WJFK) much. I'd bet that if things had worked out last year, and the situation was reversed and the D&M show was moving to NYC, it's likely that they would try to replace him from an existing person from the WNEW staff.
And it's also a fact about Charlie possibly leaving because they won't pay him what he's due.
And if you want to get really deep into how a lot of this came up, it was because Don was doing the Redskins pre-game show for free. He asked for "scale" pay, and they told him that unless he would continue to do it for free, they'd just do it without him.
You may be right about Cameron or other motives, I really have no idea. But if you don't think that they "fuck with" the D&M show too, I'd have to disagree. Yes, D&M are "it" right now at WJFK, and probably get a little better treatment than the new guys on the block, but come on! They've been pulling down #1 ratings in DC for almost two decades, in mornings, middays and drive time. It'd be hard not to show them some appreciation for that.
But even with all that, they've got problems with management too. And for all I know, the Sports Junkies may have bailed for similar (ca$h) reasons.
I AM grateful that R&F are still on the air, and I give some appreciation to WJFK for that much, but don't get me wrong here... HELL NO, I don't like the changes either!
