One of my former coworkers was a reporter on a Canadian sports station five years ago and was making 40k. He received a job offer in Texas for the exact same position in a smaller market and is making 75k now. Combine that with the fact he was able to purchase an amazing 2500 square foot home for under 300,000, life is food for him  |
wouldn't it be different at TSN and ESPN/FOX1 compared to local networks?
There was a story in SI a few years ago that Stuart Scott gets paid 2m a year, Scott Van Pelt gets 1.5
both are sportscenter hosts
a relative unknown in Charissa Thompson who Fox also just hired is rumored to have gotten 600-800k
