The anchors are the only ones who rake it in, if they are lucky. Reporters, the good ones, will be "lucky" if they are making $200,000. Most are making half of that and some even less. The producers, writers and behind-the-scenes folks are usually in the $75,000 range. Management types get 6-figures, but not much more. TV isn't the glamorous business the bright lights would lead you to believe. A lot of companies like to use freelancers. These are people who they can hire at a lesser pay rate than a full-time employee AND no have to worry about picking up their full-time benefits. If they work for one of the SF stations, the freelancer can take advantage of Healthy SF.

Fowler and Pritchett were excellent reporters who took their jobs responsibly. Sasaki is a very nice guy, truly warm, but not the hardest working reporter in town. Vacar is brilliant and shows up literally every day willing to nail a bad guy, but the station has put him on the back bench and refuses to use his talents. Rob Roth? You've got to be kidding. Not only does he have the worst delivery, the worst presentation, the worst... everything... of all major market reporters and most of the smallest ones, his reporting consistently champions the mainstream, always with a scrunched-faced stand-up that leaves him satisfied with the status quo. The pits. The well-known pits. Now, if only the station was replacing the fired reporters, good and bad, with promising youngsters, even if they were staring at a fraction of their predecessors, we wouldn't be so concerned about the future of journalism and what is says about our democracy. The easy criticism is that Fox is only concerned about profits, but they're not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-17397804276274387252016-04-09T22:43:35.207-07:002016-04-09T22:43:35.207-07:00Reporters don't make much money....starving ar...Reporters don't make much money....starving artists.<br />Anchors make more, but still pittanceCoco nibletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-63562088434568382912016-04-09T21:46:31.266-07:002016-04-09T21:46:31.266-07:00...and the women of the newsroom, control room and......and the women of the newsroom, control room and 2 Jack London Square breathe a sigh of relief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-64519911627202868312016-04-09T19:05:03.552-07:002016-04-09T19:05:03.552-07:00Frabk Sommerville needs to go next!

He was triple-dipping with three jobs, one at an AM radio station as morning sports guy, as main sports anchor for their TV station, and as the main announcer for the San Diego Padres. All together, that grossed him $700,000 each year, and this was in the 1980s. BUT, after his ex-wives were paid off, he was left with a fraction of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-86696214148159046882016-04-09T16:41:35.789-07:002016-04-09T16:41:35.789-07:00so Sasaki is out and the likes of that Keba thing ...so Sasaki is out and the likes of that Keba thing is in???<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-60180792386484197392016-04-09T16:35:21.785-07:002016-04-09T16:35:21.785-07:00Imagine if they'd all been black instead of al...Imagine if they'd all been black instead of all being white.
