Don and Mike Threaten To Leave Westwood One
Don & Mike
Don Geronimo and Mike O’Meera, whose afternoon radio show is syndicated to over fifty markets nationwide, have told their audience they are not happy with their current syndication contract with Westwood One, and would be happy just broadcasting to stations that pay them directly: WJFK/Washington, WXYV/Baltimore, WYSP/Philadelphia, WOSC/Ocean City, MD and KCJJ/Iowa City.
"We currently don’t have a contract with Westwood One," Geronimo told listeners today. The duo claim that they are getting paid under $100 a month for some of their syndication rights.
Don and Mike have also openly discussed the possibility that WYSP may not renew its contract with them at the end of September, if the pair’s ratings don’t improve. Geronimo and O’Meera recently signed a five-year multi-million dollar contract extension with home station WJFK.
$100.00 buck a show? that's way too much
