Tim is to important for Howard. Tim is Howard's fall guy.
Howard gets a show budget from Sirius. Howard decides how to use it and pays the staff with it.
This means that JD, Sal and so on all have to negotiate their sucky salary with Tim. That is his real job.
Howard can say: I have nothing to do with it. Its Tim....
Sirius wrote a retarded contract with Howard. No quality clause. No ratings clause. Nothing about how the channel budget have to be used. Howard gets millions in show budget from Sirius. How does he use it? He uses 99.9% on his own show and 0.01% on the rest of the content on the channels. Howard hires a 3 man tape-censor team that work full time censoring Howard's olds tapes. Howard hired a lunatic News team that are not allowed to report Howard (or any of the fab 4) news. Sal, Richard, JD, Jason, Will. All full time employees to create content to THSS.
Millions to THSS
and 400 dollar for some random shit-show on Howard 101.
(Ferral and Bubba where payed directly by Sirius. Same with the Fab4 including Benjy that are independent contractors)

Same to you
I have read all Howard's contracts.
Its 100% stated there who pays who.
Sirius is the employee for the staff. That is just a fact. Howard controls the budget. Fact.
Bubba was payed directly by Sirius. Fact.
Ferral I am not sure about. I am at least honest about it.

I get the sense that this was addressed with the new contract.
I remember Howard whining for a few days that if he fires anyone they'll take it out of the budget and he mentioned Artie in an off hand manner. I took it to mean that Buchwald put a budget number in their counter offer and they shot back by removing the amount of Artie's salary from that number. Probably the last time I laughed at the show.
Dear President Malone.....humble Howard with RATINGS!

BTW.
The funny thing is that Sirius could fire Benjy, Gary, Robin and Fred. They are hired directly by Sirius.
The rest are Sirius employees payed by a show-budget that Howard manages. In Howard's contract it is stated that he have 100% creative control so Sirius cant fire Tim or anyone else.
Thats why Artie is the only one gone from the show. Sirius didn't extend his contract.

Well I Agree with you guys but could you imagine if Tim was cut out somehow which would put wiggy right in the direct line of fire.

Page 6 Howard contract:
Production expenses: Sirius shall fund an annual budget to cover the cast.
JD and others have said that Sirius are their employee and that they are covered by their health plan.
--
All "performers" have contracts directly with Sirius. That have been confirmed many times. Including Bubba and with high likelihood Ferral. This have been confirmed by Bubba, Gary and Artie.

You keep pointing to a paragraph in the portion of the contract released due to the lawsuit.
Certainly the heart and soul of the Revolution is NOT defined in a few sentences?
Where is the rest of the contract that explains how all of that is done?
answer......read Don's memoirs
Stern controls everything on his channels....from behind the coward curtain!!!!
BTW User, Scott Ferral often took shots at HOWARD by name when lack of budget was discussed on his show.
