    Considering Packman's considerable contract, anyone venture to guess what Gary and Jim make doing the Morning Sports Page? I believe they're syndicated too, just not sure if it's as much as Primetime.

    Off topic, what do these guys make when they sponsor a business or product, or do the stations get the money?

    Thanks QC, but no one seemed to have a definitive answer. I would guess in the 100-150k range, but not sure if both would make that or if that is indeed what they make.

    Do they really get free stuff like Zobo TV's, Chevy's from Diamond Chevrolet and other free stuff?

    So he's comped a car from Diamond Chevrolet (or some other dealership) and tv from Zobo too?

    I would also have to guess that he's making in the $100-150k range, but it's just a guess. It would be interesting to know what him and Jim actually make. But just the free stuff is very nice too.

    Lately hes been pimping Mercedes, so I bet he's got one of them too. And the bed. And the garage floor epoxy stuff. And the big A/V system from Zobo (twice! cause he moved). And a reportedly hot wife.

    So when he endorses someone like Mercedes, the station doesn't get anything for it? But Gary gets a Mercedes comped to him? And I would guess he's making at least $100k a year and when you add in the free stuff, wow. Very nice gig.

    I'm not sure how that works, but he's always talking about how great his MB is, how great his Suburban is, etc. and I've always assumed he gets to drive them, gratis, for awhile anyway. Maybe not.

    Even if they're loaners, that's still very nice. Driving around in a Mercedes that you don't have to make a payment on. Come home to your Zobo TV and sound system. Plus your salary. Very nice gig. But what can I say, I'd pimp them too :D

    Hmmm, I know Tom Riley (Exec. Producer of the MSP) signed up here a year or so ago (I forgot his ID though). Maybe he will answer our questions for us :) . . .
