Mark Madden makes sports talk entertaining. Regardless of how you interpret his radio personality, he's talented at what he does and he's an OG, so you know he's getting paid. The guy could literally go to any market in the country, do his thing, and sky rocket to the top of the ratings.
I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing he's getting paid what the top guys in NY, and Boston are getting. The X and whoever he signs on with knowing that he could get that money easily if he skipped town.
Let's not forget, The X literally has nothing going for it outside of Madden and his producer. X music sucks. This is coming from the generation who grew up with that genre of music. Anything half decent that came out of the 90's is already being played on DVE along with most of the classics from elder year.
Nobody wants to hear Blink 182 anymore. That genre of music blows, it was cool when people were 14. Despite all of our rages we aren't rats in cages anymore. Anybody over the age of 25 has already moved on to DVE, people under the age of 25 are all on Molly and listening to Fetty wap.
I think the X is thinking they are going to be the next generations DVE. Newsflash, we all hate that music now. There's no Van Halen, Led Zep, GNR, Skynard etc with timeless songs. There's Green Day and their 3 chords.
Unfortunately for us millennials, Limp Bizkit was pretty much our claim to fame. Anyway, The X music selection is poop, they would be stupid not to put all of there eggs in Madden's basket.
