[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious how much local TV news anchors make.[/quote]

I know he's been around a while and is very well known, but I was still shocked to see Jim Vance makes $1M+.

"A local TV insider says few local TV personalities now make more than $400,000. He estimates that meteorologist Bob Ryan, who recently left Channel 4 for Channel 7 over staff pay cuts, makes about $600,000 at WJLA.
Our source also estimates that Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon get $1.5 million each for ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption.

Here are others:

Wolf Blitzer,reporter/host, CNN, $3 million.

Jim Vance, news anchor, NBC4, $1.3 million.

Don Graham, CEO, Washington Post Company, $412,740.

Katharine Weymouth, CEO, Washington Post Media, $472K"

I have a friend who is a reporter for a local "good morning" type show.  She goes on location each morning to report on that days event. Think: show up at the end of the local marathon race to catch people to chat; or going to local pizza joint holding a fundraiser, etc.

She works awful hours (i think sitting in makeup chair by 3:30am.  She makes $50,000/yr.  i reviewed her contract. Thought it was way too little for all the stunts they require her to do each week (ie dunk tank...)

Also know SAHM - no stipend. I pretty much spent everything i wanted/needed for the 5yrs I stayed at home.  So I guess no real limit.

Im back at work as a govt lawyer--make too little, imo.  But the hours are very good.  And no blackberry ever and never evenings and weekends, so i guess you pay for that.   [/quote]
