8. I doubt it...
Maybe a reputable syndicator like Jones, but Nova M? I would say that any "progressive radio" organization that is dependent on "subscribers" authorizing $10/monthly charges to their credit cards in order to pay the bills is not long for this world. Well, maybe it might survive (and continue to pay a small salary to Mike Malloy), but there's no way it could meet Rhodes's income bracket, unless she was willing to work for free for a couple of years.

Most likely, she'll become a local host on Green 960, and attempt to syndicate from there. Which is fine, except that's a ClearChannel station, and they have quite a track record of pulling the plug on even highly-successful progressive stations in order to replace them with something like local high-school sports programming.

In any event, it doesn't help the rest of us whose local AAR affiliates aren't connected to Green 960. (I tried calling AM1090's programming line up here in Seattle a few minutes ago, and got -- surprise! -- a FAX line.)
