Ya right, she doesn’t give a … about getting criticism. I’ve seen evidence that Brandi is very sensitive to criticism. But, please remember, she has won Murrow Awards. I’ve yet to win my first.
Brandi will block you on social media if you criticize her. Brandi claims her salary at FOX 13 was well over $100,000 per year.
She has criticized both of us, but we don’t criticize each other. You and I must be part of a Conservative-Liberal cabal, looking at taking over the world. (wink)
In her defense though, she has not blocked me.
That was probably true, I wouldn’t be surprised if she added another digit before she ends her career.
$39k-83k is the average salary for a tv reporter in Seattle, according to PayScale Salary Reports. Reporters are quitting due in a large part to crappy wages.
If you were getting 83k to 100k+, would you be quitting your job to start a podcast? Brandi says she set an 18 month time to attain her goal, to build a news company, hire employees, etc.
If Brandi reaches her goal, Mike, I will buy you a drink.
OK!
Hey,
Enjoy the blog. Im a tv reporter in another major market but familiar with the seattle stations. Fyi.. the average general assignment reporter starting salary right now in the seattle market is 95k-100k. A specialty reporter like investigative or political or someone who has been there a few years would make well over 100. Just for clarity.
Thanks for that. Heads up to all disc jockeys. You should have gone to journalism school.
The soon-to-be-former Brian Williams should interview both of them.
I was a BW fan until he got caught lying. One lie is all it takes to lose your cred.
Again, WHY do people still watch TV?
I sometimes smugly congratulate myself for throwing away my TV fifteen or twenty years ago.
