Again, WHY do people still watch TV?
I sometimes smugly congratulate myself for throwing away my TV fifteen or twenty years ago.
The soon-to-be-former Brian Williams should interview both of them.
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.
$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.
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.
