That is biggest risk RAH is taking here. They may have danced around their current contract language to avoid getting terminated outright, but when contracts are up for renewal the majors can disqualify you for any reason or no reason at all. The bigger they get, they more majors they are going to annoy.
How long are their feed contracts good for?
