AFAIK it's no different than most syndicated talk shows...the show is free, 
you must run the network spots.  I'm sure the fact that he tends to be on 
smaller stations factors into the price that the network charges per spot, 
though networks have often been known to inflate the market 
somewhat...ie-when WTPL (Hillsborough/Concord, N.H.) carried Bill O'Reilly 
his website listed them as a "Boston" affiliate.  Of course with Kiss 108 
being a first adjacent there was no chance you'd hear them inside of 495, 
but they probably didn't tell the fine folks at Gold Bond powder that.
