Most big time hosts have non-compete clauses which prevent them from working in a similar capacity elsewhere during the pendency of their contracts. That’s some good lawyering Ron has.

It also includes an email address. Since Ron has never had access to email in his previous stops at WPON, I'll believe it when I see it.

He pays 300 a week? Always intrigued by how breaks even or even pulls ahead to make money

Wow, you miss a few days, you miss a lot!

I seem recall that WPON streams off the Birach site.

WPON is $150 an hour. That would mean $600 per weekend. I believe Sima wants a month in advance, it would be prorated in this case.
WDTK is higher, not sure how much but I would guess $300-$400 per hour.

Sorry I had miss information on Ron's re-arrival to WPON this weekend. Looks like the legend in his own mind will take over the ship next weekend

Wow interesting, makes me wonder more how he turns a profit for himself. I get he sells the ads, I guess AM radio with a handful of listeners has its perks!

I have a feeling, next week when he starts the show he slams the patriot. Does not address why he left and immediately goes into the Tigers PR department

I wonder if Windsor Dave will know where Ron has gone

The hot Detroit Tigers I may add :)

I wonder if Ron will be on his best behaviour? If he blows it at WPON there is no other place to go.He would never be hired at a "real" radio,station,and WDTK would never let him broker there again.Word of advice Ronnie .Be nice to your co workers even,incompetent Martin.

Speaking of Ron's Twitter feed, here's a clever little exchange from May 3:

Poster: How many more stations can you work at before retirement?

Ron: Age is just a number, I love what I do for a living.
All along the icy wastes, there are faces smiling in the gloom.
