Just what does Fox13 Seattle have that the others do not have???….seems to be the place to go if you work at one of the other stations here.
The answer may be in the salary ranges. Looking at KING 5 current job postings, their meteorologist salary is between 95,000 – 120,000. Current Fox13 meteorologist job posting indicates a range between 125,000 – 135,000.
FOX seems to have a taste for KIRO talent… Matthew Smith, Claire Anderson, now Lauren Donovan in a pretty short amount of time. Probably forgetting one or two as well.
