If Boomer had guests like Patrick Roy he would do a lot better, the fact is the only thing that keeps Rome afloat is the financial resources that the US radio networks have.

He grew his show from a local AM broadcast in San Diego of all places to a Nationally syndicated program with over two million listeners and hundreds of affiliates. I think there's more keeping him afloat than "US radio network" money. Boomer doesn't get guests like Patrick Roy for a reason, it seems any good guest is either a sportsnet colleague or someone Warrener is tight with. I listened to the clip of the Sutter interview and it was good, but it's clear that Rhett is the better talent which is why 960 lets him come in pretty much whenever he wants, they're lucky to have him.
