Re: CNN anchor salaries
Probably less than you think. I was a sports reporter and anchor for about five years, and the money is really, really lousy until you get to a really big market or network.
Obviously, CNN is a network, but I think you would be surprised at how little most of the on-air talent makes. The guys who start on ESPNEWS, for example, only get about $45-50K to start.
The top level anchors at CNN like Daryn Kagan, however, are probably doing very well, $300-600K I'd guess. It's really hard to get real good info about salaries in TV for some reason. People just don't talk about it much.
