I just got around to reading this article.

Interesting quotes.

Even more interesting is Lydon's quoted salary......$12,500 a MONTH!
($150,000 a year!  ...for one hour of radio a day.)

Here's the question:

....does Lydon *own* this show?
(The salary would say no....but knowing his public beef with Jane Chisto, I
would assume yes.)

So, he pulls in even more $$$ for every affilliate that carries the show?

Anyone know how that works?
