In my opinion, 600 million over three years is far too rich a price to pay for Christ himself, much less Stern. It seems ludicrous that Apple would have made such an offer, as it is more of a hardware provider than a content producer. To offer Stern such an outrageous amount of money for the effort he puts forth (and by that I’m referring to his own statement that he would like to work LESS), and as his retirement comes closer each year, I could not imagine Apple willing to pony up that much money to potentially lose him in just three years.

At the very least, it should boost Stern’s show listenership to an all time high tomorrow…stay tuned!
