Beirness no thank you and she has a terrible voice which ruined TSN's summer Olympic coverage. Staniszewski yes please and has a pleasant voice with excellent diction.
She loves the diction

In Canada, a TV anchoring position pays around 50k (there are expectations, of course - Strombo etc.). That's in a major market. In the US, he'll likely be making closer to 80k and if they are on a contract ladder structure, could be making close to 100k after five years.
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

Because there's little competition in Canada in terms of sports broadcasting, the compensation just isn't there.
Once you get established in the US, you're golden, especially if you're on a national broadcast. Erin Andrews makes well over a million dollars. It definitely won't be long before Onrait and O'Toole are making six digits. It likely took a lot to pry them from Canada because they seemed really happy in their roles so, who knows. I'd love to be on a fly on the wall during those negotiations!

So two guys who occupy the top morning slot and the number one sports station make less than the average employee in the oil and gas industry.
Personally, I'd be stunned if they are currently making less than $200,000 at TSN.

I've always wondered in what format Loubardias would be best at (in the context of seeing/hearing from him on a regular basis).
I have to say though.. radio wasn't his thing. At least not when I had tuned in past the 3 day mark. I found that he started to become a little irritating. Just my opinion though.

Mango has worked in the industry, as have I - and I can tell you that the salaries are shockingly low. If you aren't one of the top dogs you frankly can't even make a living. Most broadcasters make ends meet but having multiple jobs, or side projects on the go.

That's why I think radio would be the worst job around. Low pay and just constantly forced to pimp your sponsors.
The lethal combination is low pay+horrible hours.
The work itself is a lot of fun - at times doesn't feel like work at all.
But it can have a huge negative impact on all your relationships, including your family.
At some point many, including me, reach the point where it just isn't worth it.
Which is too bad.
For that reason those that actually make it - deserve that much more respect.
I wonder what exactly will they be doing on Fox? Hosts as they are now, at a regional level, since Fox doesn't really have a Sportscentre national equivalent? To go as a package as they are, must be something like that to gain share in a big market that they're behind ESPN, by being different then the competition.

They seem to be targeting ESPN with this move and will have a new sports news show called "Fox Sports Live". I don't know if they've made it official yet, but the assumption is that Onrait and O'Toole will be the hosts of Fox Sports Live.
