Hasn't Mike been dead for years? Doesn't that make the podcast have a creepy vibe?MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:44 pmKind of an honor that this board got mentioned.
No. It's done to honor him. Same reason the Rockin' New Years Eve show still has Dick Clark's name on it, because they know that without his legacy, it wouldn't be what it is today.
I have a different take on it.
It Pays To Be Famous And Dead
According to the 2016 Forbes’ list of highest-earning dead celebrities, Elvis made $27 million while David Bowie made $10.5 million, John Lennon achieved $12 million, and Prince garnered $25 million. Of course, many others continue to rake in the money long after they have passed. Eight years after his death, Michael Jackson has earned approximately $825 million in that time.
Although it is just one piece of the licensing pie, which totaled $262.9 billion in terms of global licensed goods and services sales in 2016, the licensing of names and images of dead celebrities is big business. “Delebrities” were all over the 2017 Licensing Expo held May 23-25 in Las Vegas. John Wayne and Bela Lugosi even had their own booths on the show floor. Additionally, companies like CMG Worldwide, ABG, Live Nation, Beanstalk (the only major trademark company to have a division specifically devoted to deceased icons), and Epic Rights offer the rights to a wide variety of “delebrities” for licensing programs.

Does Mike's family get royalties? I suspect the podcast has SOME sort of revenue.lidoshuffle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 9:49 pmYou must be so welcome at family gatherings and parties....TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 10:08 pmHasn't Mike been dead for years?
