What do you think Scona pulls in?? Like $30,000 or $40,000??


I would think it would be more.

Or at least, I HOPE it would be more for a guy that's 30+ with a college degree (though it's probably a Mass Comm degree ).

sounds like Jimmy is going to keep his by doing the Pelican TV thing. I'm sure the sponsors are thrilled their ads will be seen by about 20 people.

I still think the only one guaranty looks at is jordy ...


Maybe so. What does Jordy actually do these days? Has LSU made some kind of assistant AD for 'insert bullshite' title for him? He's been at the LSU AD teat forever. The score AM show has just been a mooney grab for him. He'll be fine. Too connected at LSU to suffer.

Good call. Though SFP was somewhat overboard at times.

exactly, I don't think he did that show because he needed the money. He probably did it just because of his love of sports. It wouldn't shock me, beings how he is so connected to LSU that some high ups didn't actually encourage him to do it. To give LSU a inside positive voice on the airwaves.

That whole pelican TV experiment has survived longer than I ever expected. Won't be long before somebody pulls the plug on that debacle too.

I'm sure Jordy will be real upset about getting over the Wondercuts at 6:45 in the morning and sitting in that dark store for 2 hours.

considering only 28% of all Americans have a degree from a four-year college .. any degree is nothing to laugh at .. that being said, radio salaries for on air talent is not that great ...

What's interesting is Jimmy got booted off of Pelican because he stopped paying them .. I'll bet that was an awkward phone call for him ...

It was a cash grab. Plain and simple. Easy money for the guy. All he had to do was hit up every sponsor he was already dealing with.

Everybody needs the money BTW. And his 'love of sports' was certainly not his primary motivation.

Meh. All he had to do was holler at his fellow yat TK. I'm sure Krysan was happy to throw him a bone. He's been kissing Jimmy's arse for years.

I agree with you that it is amazing that is still on channel 713 .. they can't even get their schedule straight ... digital cable reaches a small sliver of BR households and then a small handful of that sliver is going to watch a radio show ... why would someone watch a guy reading the newspaper in an empty restaurant in prairieville ??

And who in the hell is at home in the middle of the day to 'watch' a radio show?

It's just a band aid for now to maintain a presence and figure out WTF to do next.

Ott must make pretty good bank. He talks alot about his home in U club and the country club membership where he plays tennis. He can't be doing that bad.

Have you heard anything about WJBO yet? If those guys got the boot today with the others it wouldn't shock me, but I'd feel bad for them.

His wife is the bread winner .. a fat chunk of his bank has been cut off for the most part .. he just recently started depending solely on radio for his income ...
