What kind of screwy world do we live in when a big name LA morning personality would rather work for iHeartMedia instead of Emmis?
Ask that question 1,000 times and 1,000 people will choose Emmis.

What could make Power 106 KPWR morning personality Big Boy (Kurt Alexander) refuse to accept a matched offer by Emmis – an offer that he must legally accept according to his current employment contract.
The court will rule within a few weeks on an injunction filed by Emmis to stop Big Boy from bolting to LA’s 92.3 The Beat.
Details on what iHeart offered and Emmis matched – salary, benefits, etc.
The role of Greg Ashlock, iHeart’s Evil Empire Market Manager in LA to lure Big Boy to violate his contract.
The sad story of how Emmis was apparently led to believe that Big Boy said it was all good and then disappeared for 5 days before announcing he’s leaving anyway.
