When Lynch & Co. took over the stations, It's assumed they also take over all the standing debt, contracts and other obligations. Is that not the case?
If they short-change employee checks without the consent of the employees, that sounds illegal. But like you said, it really seems like the "whole" story is not being divulged.
What is almost certain is that another morning show is gone for good. The money is not there, and/or companies are not willing to pay the over-inflated salaries for over-inflated egos. They've been living high on the hog for so long, they feel entitled.
Meanwhile, the too-close-to-minimum-wagers trudge along doing the grunt work for the majority of stations that are not on sindicated or voice-tracked programming.
If radio has not hit bottom, it's gonna be an ugly sight when it does.

Uh... John Lynch didn't "take over" XX1090, he started it. As I recall (because I was there), he built it from scratch, and hired the staff he used to have at the old XTRA 690. At the time, Clear Channel had let most of the San Diego based staff go and merged it with their LA operations. XTRA had become an LA station.
Lynch already ran 1090, 1700, and 105.7. He took over Z90, (re-took over 91X), and Magic 92.5. Lynch now has a large locally run cluster. Six stations... Just like another company in the San Diego area...
Linch is a TIGHTWAD!!!
