This is ridiculous. His contract guaruntees him salary. They can do what they want with the programming, they just have to honor their financial obligations. If they were to let him go they'd eat the salary and value their decision as more valuable.
You can't expect a contract to be ironclad as to being on the air. A network is going to have to arrange their schedule as they see fit. They'll just have to pay the price for it.
A contract won't and can't have a clause that guaruntees being on the air when you want. If 0 people were watching and he was eating babies they wouldn't be able to take him off TV because he's got it in writing? Yea, that's not how it works.
