I think LoHo wipes his ass with $39,000.

Much of a sports radio hosts duties include announcing, such as announcing station program information, commercials and public service information. The average salary of radio announcers is $19.19, or $39,910 yearly as of 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hosts may work a variety of hours and shifts and perform additional duties, such as interviewing guests, researching information and even broadcasting live events.

He's in the 3rd largest market in the country. $39K is probably what some hilljack in Lexington KY makes per year.

And that's mostly paid in hay and off-brand bourbon/turpentine.

Are you guys seriously? 350k? For a radio host? I always thought they were paid crap. And doesn't Larry usually work part time during Cubs season?

Boers was making $500k and Bernstein likely isn't far behind, but Laurence makes nowhere near that. The inflated salary numbers for him are a board meme.

Dolphin pegged him (if you'll pardon the expression) perfectly.

Yes. 3rd market. But he's nights and not full time. Lots of half hour shows. Not just the Cubs. They have Monday and Thursday night football, depaul and Illinois basketball.

Even with Benjamins that's gonna take a long time ... gonna need a soothing aloe balm afterwards too, I would guess.

Exactly, Larry is basically part time. No way the score is paying him a mint to go on vacation during CUbs season

I would peg Larry at $70-80k. He gets more as he's often an afternoon fill-in and he does the basketball games

Agreed. I'm not saying he's rich, but these people who think a full-time host at the Score is making minimum wage are delusional.

Has to be at least 375 now.

This guy is about as credible as Rob Lowe giving Peyton Manning retirement news. If you think he makes anything close to that you are INSANE!

Congrats to Lawrence on re-signing though. He is definitely a Score staple. Despite the fact that he hated me personally(J Hood once had to hold him back from attacking me in the studio while I was producing their wrestling show) I always thought he was a decent, hard working guy and I'm glad he has lasted so long at the station.

Like Dex, I was close to leaving, but I knew where I wanted to be...so I've agreed to a new deal to stay at The Score @670thescore for another year. There were a few really cool opportunities placed in front of me, but nothing is like what we do on a nightly basis. My connection with you played a big part in my decision.

This whole free agency process has been incredible and it's nice to know people respect my work. Im still going to dabble in TV, but I'm glad I didn't completely move away from radio.

The last 2 weeks have been exhausting, but really happy to announce I'll be back in the air 6p March 1st.

Thank you for your tremendous support of the show. It means the world to me.

I had to read that twice, too funny. I would have bet money that curious hair wrote that.

He makes 60k at the Score, these turds have said he makes 300k for as long as I've been reading this message board..its just one of those lame sayings that a handful of clowns like to repeat.

To be fair, I didn't say Larietta was obtuse. I said that both you and Larietta were obtuse.

If you have a good idea what Holmes might make, then just say it. You make things way more complicated than they need to be.

The next time Seacrest backs up whatever dim-witted point he's snarkily trying to make will.be his first. He also lied about his 3 am Obama story.

Yeah. He's such a drama queen. He once said that he didn't want the midday show cuz he wanted to be with Ostrowski and Herb. Well, he obviously said that cuz he knew he wasn't getting it.

Goff: And he's gay.

Divide your salary figure by 2 and it will be really close.

I'd say 100-125, but he has been there for a while, is a willing utility player and is Mitch's guy so he might have bumped him up to your number

Either way, I think he makes nice money for the work and hours. It's not FU money but he and his wife combined probably live a very comfortable existence

i knew larry was a chicago titan when he retold the story of being hungry one evening.

he walked into a busy pizza parlor right up to the counter. he stated he was hungry and need a pizza. in 20 minutes he carried a pizza right out of the place.

that's a VIP right there.
