Does drinky still have his "Sunday Dinners by Matt" gig? If so, mark him down for the $1 million + category.

Holmes has to be pulling down $1 million plus.

He'd make a lot more if he'd stop pulling himself out of the running for all the plum jobs.

The assumptions of salary for local broadcast media has been waaaay overblown on this web site for many years


First off, are you talking salary or salary with benefits (kinda big difference)

2nd...in this day and age of the current media environment...non-above the line individuals are simply churned for cheaper younger individuals...their talent is not important, nor valued

Above the line people (Executives, On Air Talent) while certainly commanding more money, have seen their income dwindling tremendously over the last decade

He'd make a lot more if he'd stop pulling himself out of the running for all the plum jobs.

. I'm guessing prime Bernsie was making 2-3x what he is today.

I think about that too. He did national, filling in for Dan Patrick, and I thought that would be his ticket to the big leagues. The guy is certainly talented enough.

I don't know why he's riding down a sinking ship though. If he's only making a couple hundred grand a year, wouldn't that be easy for him to make on a podcast? He would be great doing his own gig, as long as he has a decent partner. Holmes sucks, lia is ok but too filtered. But there's plenty of guys that suit him. That's what makes me think he's still getting paid half a mil a year... Why else would he be there?

I'd say the on air talent estimates on here do reflect the downward trend. I'm guessing prime Bernsie was making 2-3x what he is today.

When was the last time Bernstein said anything that was (intentionally) funny?

North was making 1.75 million per year at his height and then he turned down 800K. Bee Bee was his advisor on that one.

Don’t Fade Me was the future, lol.

The whole 2012-2016 era of the board was dedicated to definitively proving that he wasn't.
