L-A Radio: Report..Big Boy, KRRL Deal Worth $10.5M

The $10.5M Smile

Big Boy has closed a multimillion dollar deal with iHeartMedia to officially move his hit Los Angeles morning show to iHeart’s Real 92.3 (KRRL), it was announced Tuesday.

While his exit from crosstown rival Power 106 (KPWR) in L.A. sparked a nasty legal battle, Big Boy is singing a happy tune about his new $10.5 million iHeart deal, according to The Wrap.

“You can’t imagine how psyched and ready I am to show my listeners – my family – what we’ve got planned at Real 92.3. iHeartMedia 100 percent gets what I’ve been doing for over 20 years and together we’re going to take it to the next level,” Big Boy said in a statement issued to TheWrap.

His three-year contract provides an annual salary of $3.5 million, plus an additional $200,000 video production budget, four weeks of vacation and the use of a private jet for domestic travel (including Hawaii), according to legal documents obtained by TheWrap. His new employer, iHeartMedia, has also committed to spending a minimum of $1 million a year to promote Big Boy’s show and will make him a featured presenter at national tent-pole events.

The popular radio personality actually joined Real 92.3 on Mar. 9. But the deal just officially closed
