I think we can safely assume that Sales are well below the expectations of Lic, Inc. as North would be the first one to brag about how well the CD's sold, by telling us how well they sold and he would like to thnak BeBe, etc etc and everyone else that worked so damn hartd on making it a huge sucess.
But that didn't happen?
It didn't happen because Mike is not popular. People are sick of his act. It grew thin quick once he was given the power to do as he wished, it spiraled into nothing. The common element of his demise is him!
Jiggs was the best thing that ever happened to North and he doesn't know it. Jiggs kept him in line and moved things along when he knew North was on a rant that would not make sense to a 5th grader. Jiggs aslo checked Mike racsim. He kept Mike from making blanket statements about Blacks. Jiggs didn't rely upon Mike for a paycheck and it is the ONLY way to have someone work with him. Of cour5se Mike didn't like it, he kept him in check and then his ego got out of control.
I don't doubt Mike brings some money in from his show. He does have a morning drive show in chicago on a 50,000 watt radio station, which is segmented to Sports (or at least tries too), plus he does make an extra effort to SELL his wares to anyone that will pay for the time and we all know ANYONE, but if it all about Money, did they NET more money when they paid Fred and Murphy probably 2+ million less than the current Morning crew? I am going to out on a limb and SAY NO!
