I've never heard of paying a guest.  And whatever the configuration, 
I suspect the contract terms would still apply -- whatever deal was 
offered to Howie Carr, WRKO would be entitled to try to match it.

His lawyers have probably told him to keep silent.  There's 
litigation going on, and anything he might say could be used against 
him.
