We had a local news anchor here who was earning more than $250,000/yr for reciting her script for 1/2 hr at noon 5 days a week (and more for her evening broadcast). Overpaid ... depends on your view, she didn't think so and sued after she was reduced to one show/day (midday) for poor ratings. So, 3rd rate anchor, $250,000 for 30 min/day, fair pay.
