Long time lurker here....great forum.

Anyway can't help but wonder what kind of money these people make? I'm talking the Mackel bros, hot arse Randi Rousseau and stuff. Are they ballers?
Figured the OT might know something.

D. Sachse in Houston makes $1,000,000. Or so it's rumored.

News Anchors who are practiced in their profession and carry more than 10 years of experience make up approximately one-half of News Anchors. Pay fluctuates from $30K to $130K per year, but expected earnings average $56K per year. Overall cash earnings for News Anchors stretch from $30K on the lower end to $130K near the top, and the heftiest packages can encompass around $15K from bonuses and $50K from profit sharing.

And I will wager that at the same station, there are one or more salesmen out-earning the anchor.

I can help you with this as I used to be a producer at a station in Tyler. (at the time it was market 111)

Depending on their seniority, what time they were on the desk, and how much editorial work they did, our anchors made anywhere from $60k-$100k. There were a few anchors (a morning and a 5pm) that doubled as reporters who were on the low end of the scale. The 6/10 anchors and the longtime morning guy made the most.

The reporters (who did the vast majority of the work) were getting absolutely boned though. They were making $20k-$25k.

I would think Lee Zurik probably makes more than any anchor in New Orleans.

I wonder how much Benson paid him to kill the Nungussier story?

Bob Breck was banking about 130k a few years ago.
