: He said he won't be appearing on any other stations anytime soon. "For at least 2.5 years"

: He has 2.5 years left on his multimillion dollar contract and he isn't going to let CBS out of it. Good for him.

: So CBS is going to pay his balance due in full while he gets to sit on the beach and work on Dahl.com projects or appear on Comcast SportsNet, do whatever he wants. I just don't understand the reasoning behind this kind of firing. They don't save any money for at least 2.5 years. Maybe that's why I'll never be in corporate management.


: : Dahl's announcement confirms longstanding rumors that he would become the latest top-paid CBS Radio Chicago host cut loose in recent months despite a contract that extends to mid-2011 worth more than $1 million per year.

: : "This is our last show," Dahl said.


It doesn't matter how much it costs them. Rotten ratings are rotten ratings!

Who should replace him?
