Ok Judge Judy makes 15 million a year, but she's been a TV judge for 10 years.

Rachael Ray got a $380k contract for her first TV show and now she has 4 of them, so you know she's pulling down over a million a year easily.

What does an anchor on Sports Center or CNBC make? Or any other TV people.

Not stupid actors though.

Probably not as much as you'd think for most of them.

There are a couple of Fox Hotties that would be very nice to make.

George Eads and Jorja Fox were making $100,000 per episode on CSI when they tried to hold out for more last year...

Rachael Ray could make a lot more doing porn..

related to topic: how come people bitch about how much CEO's make but not tv or movie actors? That's one of my pet peeves!

A quarter mil is pretty much the league minimum for a local news anchor.

Is that a major media market, like St. Paul/Minneapolis?

She is worth millions. Read a bio on her a few weeks ago, she has book deals, TV shows, etc. Millions. But porn would be a good thing for her..

I think Jim Cantore makes over a million a year at the Weather Channel.

She should be forced to work in EE Feedback & Grouching forum for a year.

You're way off! Maybe in a top 20 market. Local anchors get nowhere near this amount in most markets.

I've been in the TV/Communication business for more than 15 years on the Engineering side of things.

Every anchor/talking head that I've known is dumb, vain, and full of themselves.

Sorry, I should have qualified that - for a top 20 market like MSP.
