The argument on management side was that the local station was not generating enough revenue. I negotiated
for some other provisions and refused to sign a 3-year contract, so I would not be tied with the other local.
Now the issue I have with the CEO, is he is responsible for the entire company and if that's the case, then he should have been responsible for the New York market. While CBS was claiming poverty in New York the CEO salary was $85 million that year.
Look I'm not saying you shouldn't fight for what you believe your worth, but everyone should be allowed to demand what they want.
There was a line from of my favor movies titled Other People's Money: I play the game you make as much money as you can and who ever dies with the most money wins.

Your "demands" were "negotiated" the CEO surely negotiated his contract as well , making Demands sound forceful, powerful, but it comes down to what leverage you have, how far the other side can or will go, some how some way for whatever reason the CEO convinced the right people that he/she was the right choice at that price.,, I demand that someone pay off my mortgage!,, I demand that I am offered a new acceptable Vehicle at a price I find acceptable,, ( but I won't hold my breath)
