NL- I’ve always wondered how much TV news people make. At the local level, seems to me to be an awful job, with long hours, and they would get recognised constantly in public, have to be always “ON” and look presentable. If you were on the Network level at least the money would be worth it.
These salaries are for a local news job and are from http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/
