But that could be said about WFNX, the old WILD or any of a dozen
rimshotters.  My guess is that few stations in Manchester, Portsmouth or
Providence pay their jocks $40/hr either or let their jocks work 5-day
weeks.    What does class have to do with payroll?  IIRC Mega's stations
are a bunch of low power suburban AMs.  I doubt their yearly cash flow
approaches what Kiss bills in a month.
