Weekly Radio Show

[Aargh]

Just to set the record straight, BGM has a contract with Entercom to provide airtime for all Shocker broadcasts on their various stations. In that contract, Entercom retains the right to sell the location for the basketball Coaches shows. Entercom sets the rate for what they want to charge for the location sponsorship, not BGM. BGM sells all of the inventory in the coaches shows.

Mike Kennedy is paid a fee per game and, in addition, has a very limited amount of inventory that he may sell and keep the revenues as additional compensation. Judge Dahl only receives a stipend for doing the home games and Bob Hull receives a stipend and travel day expenses reimbursement for his road games.

Mr. Kennedy does not in any way make a "huge" living. He is fairly compensated for the duties he performs, but I'd hardly call what he makes "huge".

As for the University seeking a different media marketing source for next year, you would have to ask them their reasons why they would do that.

Aargh, you are one of the few posters on here that I actually give some credibility as to your opinions. In this case, though, you are way off the mark.

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it. I regret that I posted the wrong information and am glad you have corrected my error.

I confused the roles of the BGM staff with another sports show involving WSU (and not involving BGM or Entercom) where the personalities did sell spots - and even had to make collection calls on their sales.

Just finished listening to the replay of the coach's show.

My favorite line had to be, and I'll paraphrase, "Gibbs has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He's very smart and crafty, and HE GETS A LOT OUT OF HIS ABILITIES"
