: : any estimate of the salaries over at WSCR, not just the big names, but the more "rank and file" reporters? what kind of salary do you think they'll offer the winner of their search?

:
: I'd bet most are in the range of 50-75k, which is average for a Chicago non-agent-representated-superstar talent. A surprise to most outsiders. The "winner" will likely be in this range as well.

No, they paid well in the 1990s but in the 2000s it has been cut, cut, cut. Fred & George made 75k but they were fired last year. Jesse made 50k but he left last year. The guys they're keeping and/or hiring now are lower paid. Producers in the 20s & others in the 30s & 40s. The winner will probably be in the high 30s.
