Whatever a week, - 50kW of power for 2 hours, - fees, - staff (whatever that would mean)
Maintenance for equipment factors in somehow also. Whatever union bullshit on top of it.

Doesn’t he do it from the basement in Carolina? I didn’t listen so idk. Does he have to pay the staff in NY if he does it from his basement? And the signal power money comes out of his money? I figured the station is on the hook for that

It's not pure profit, he's getting a cut of what's left after operating costs.

 

[RoTheHo69]

Also not knowing the details of the contract, I don't see why syndication couldn't be 0 cost for other stations with the agreement that they just play advertisements. It's all speculation.

 

[satanssockpuppet]

I genuinely can't see how a Sunday night AM radio program could possibly be profitable to any significant degree. Maybe it is, maybe I'm missing something there, but even in a best-case scenario, he couldn't be pulling more than a few hundred listeners, if that.

Does his management know about that picture of the girl (age undetermined) passed out in his "movie theater" with her bikini bottom askew? Or what about Bobos sister suddenly being able to traipse across Europe with little income, no doubt being funded by hush money? I don't think the management of WAaaaaaaBC know who theyre dealing with

77 WABC Radio: Revenue, Competitors, Alternatives

77 WABC Radio top competitors are Entreprenista, Jing Daily and YAP Media and they have annual revenue of $7.5M and 98 employees.

growjo.com

7.5 million revenue
98 employees
Apparently bought for 12.5 million.
https://tvradioschedules.fandom.com/wiki/77_WABC_Program_Schedule More than 50 of the employees are on-air "talent" from the looks of it.
https://radiodiscussions.com/threads/electricity-costs-at-transmitter-site.631952/ Power's not that crazy.

Maybe they're making money, but the guy on 2 hours on Sunday night can't be seeing any of it.

 

[RoTheHo69]

7.5 million revenue, let's assume it's all from advertisers.
24 hours × 7 days = 168 hours a week
168 hours x 52 weeks = 8736 hours a year
$7.5mill / 8736 hours means advertising is very roughly $858 an hour, there's paid spots on the weekend and Sunday nights probably don't get the same rates as Friday afternoon or Monday morning, etc. but we'll ignore that and assume all hours make the same money.

That leaves ~$1700 before expenses for nana's two hour stint? I could be wrong about any of it though.

You are not. It was either Nana, Infomercials, or dead air.
And infomercials make people immediately change the channel.

There's a reason O&A ran filler podcasts and reruns on the weekend

Also consider that Anthony broadcasts in an absolute dead time. I have to think most weekend hosts are paying for their time and finding their own sponsors; hence the cigar and gold commercials.

Considering what you're saying this is a generous estimate. And even with the generosity before operating expenses.

Or it could be that syndicates play Red Apple's advertising and get programming for free. I don't know.

Yeah if you've averaged this out to $858 per hour, obviously the weekdays are doing the heavy lifting with advertisers. You mentioned 168 hours per week; 120 of those hours are far, far more valuable than the other 48. And only 60 of that 120 is really all that valuable. And Anthony is on in none of those valuable time slots.

Anthony mentioned that when he signed his contract, he was looking at the compensation section and assumed the salary listed was what he would be paid per show. However, he later realized it was actually his annual salary. He is making absolutely no money.

Yeah I caught that too and surprised it hasn’t been mentioned before. What is that number then? Is he making like 40-50k and thought he was actually going to receive 40-50k an episode? That’d be insane.

I drive a lot so I’ve listened to both now just for some background noise and it really is just nothing. Any right winger with a tenuous grasp of the conservative headlines could make the points that he is. He desperately needs somebody else or to take calls which will never happen

Are we sure "TheDukeOfRoscoeBlvd" isn't Fred?

Nana has never had an original political thought in her life. He's not actually conservative- just racist.
His politics are simply repeating the Fox News talking points of the day with some 30 year old impressions peppered in.

 

[FezzieAlwaysWins]

Naah, Roscoe is a new MAGA/Dabbleverse era fan and knows absolutely zero about Nana's backstory or anything from the O&A days.

If it is Fred he's doing an impressive job pretending to be ignorant.

I'm still thinking there is a non-zero chance its someone doing a bit. But that is just because I can't get my head around that level of faggotry being organic.

How does anyone not think that's a bit? Not enough typos for someone that retarded.
