Amoli would be willing to do a full partnership, but she is going to push for one of the Displaced. Having one of them on her show would mean that any agreements she makes with Red Wings ownership would involve even more profits. Don't have one, and ... well. There would be less of a chance of that. Don't you want to reap all the benefits that you can for the community, Stephen?

As a note, if he reads her mind, he'll see that she's just a cutthroat business woman looking to succeed with her show. She's always wanted to host a singing competition, but knows that they're from a bygone era. She doesn't have any underhanded motivations beyond that.
