Seems odd but I think the big news anchors really do make good money.
In Canada when the big news anchor retired they replaced him with 4 people. Presumably so that if any one asked for too much there was easy shift to the others.
I know they do here in the USA. A family friend finally moved from the field to the anchor position in a decent sized city (not even a top-50 metropolitan population) and was making nearly 7 figures. I would bet the giant areas (LA, NYC, Houston, Miami, Chicago, etc) must be raking it in.
Of course, you could probably attenuate that salary a bit because of how the job market has been moving in the last three decades, so take these numbers as less accurate than the back of the napkin numbers. We might be in shit stall territory.
