I also highly doubt anyone doing Chicago sports radio right now makes 200K. There was some discussion about numbers a while back, and in that discussion, I remember some people throwing out ridiculous numbers.

Kap probably does but he hustles and has like four or five different gigs.

No way he will keep making that much

So Bernsie's deal runs thru Feb 22? Curious to see what happens at that point. No way he will keep making that much

He’s not making that much.

What is “not that much?”. I’ll bet he’s still around $200k

I thought I remember some conversation in the past about most of them using Kevin Harlan’s brother as an agent. I think it was Brian Harlan and he has some sort of sports media company.

I would assume Bernstein was making 500k in his hey day. With Boers. That was afternoon drive. Probably 200k now. Maybe 150 since he's midday. Radio money isn't what it used to be.

Yeah, Mike North was making a 1.5 million at one point. Then his dumb ass turned down an 800k offer to stay at the SCORE.

It always amazes me that a guy like North would turn down that money. A dumb ass guy that lucked into a radio job. Had a hot dog stand before his break. So he should know the luck he had. Thinking he was big time. Well, he lost.

Yeah, Goff fucked up without having an agent. But I don't blame the fact that he didn't have an agent. I wouldn't either. I would just read the damn contract and negotiate it better by myself. Christ, Goff didn't even know that he wouldn't be paid his full contract when he got fired. That's something I would know.

So North hasn't really worked in 13 and a half years. That's crazy. He must have saved some money from the good days.

North had 7 figure years. No one in any local radio will ever see that money again.

Remember when the North's were trying to tout BeBe as an agent? Then she became an exec at the pyramid scheme station while North tried to convince talent to leave their comfortable gigs for the riches of the new station?

He was relatively old already when he started. He had some professional success as a restauranteur that would have put some money in the bank. Remember, he and BeBe were living a decent, middle class life from that hot dog stand. I think he also had a city job long enough to qualify for a small pension (I could be incorrect on that).

I think he lived the good life in his Score days but you have to remember he was glomming everything from restaurants to cars as a not so side hustle.

Dont forget that he was also, um, mob-adjacent.
