Someone like Boomer might be in the $80k range, not great but it can pay some bills and bring in a decent income for a dual income household. Throw in the perks of the job in terms of sports tickets, pension, side hustle connections and some food and beverage, etc and it was an alright job for a while. Lower on the totem pole for other talents.

Trust me - these guys are not raking in $80k or anything close to it. I could see someone like Warrener maybe making this amount pro-rated for his time only. The others, well, you'd shocked to hear what these guys start at and progress to because it's going to be close to half of what you are thinking.
The station certainly wouldn't have sustained itself for this long when the medium is effectively finished by paying respectable salaries.
