Clear Channel doesn't get to air his show for free, they have to pay
quite a bit of money for it, and that money is specifically for HIS
show which they have always known was shocking (hence the name shock
jock) and rude. Yes, it's exactly true, Clear Channel has been paying
big money for Howard to be shocking and rude, and now they are
punishing him for being shocking and rude.
