Emmis is a company that owns both Hot 97 in New York and the sister station in L.A. Power 106.1 and they have been losing a lot of their big radio personalities including Angie Martinez Cipha Sounds, and Mister Cee. Now it seems as though the company may be losing another huge personality which is Big Boy of the L.A. station Power 106. Reports are saying that Big Boys contract with the company ends this month and that he is looking to jump to a competitor station iHeartMedia. But Emmis in new legal documents states that iHeartMedia is offering Big Boy $3.5 million plus royalties and perks which include a private jet. Big Boy only was making 1.45 million annually with Power but in their contract they are able to match any offer from competitors and they did but Big Boy still refused. Now Emmis is asking a judge to not allow Big Boy to leave and are seeking $5 million. No word from Big Boy at this time but we will keep you up to date on what happens next in this situation.
