Question:
What do sports talk radio hosts make?
Answers:
It all depends on what market they are working in. It also can depend on if they are a "local" host, or a "Network" host.
I have done some work for Fox Sports radio on the local level, and ESPN radio on both the local, and network level.
An average Sports Talker in a top 20 market can make anywhere from 70 to 100 thousand per year.
An average small market Sports Talker will usually pull in 30, to 45 thousand a year.
A Network level Sports Broadcaster can pull in 125 thousand and up per year.
As you can see, working in radio is like climbing a never-ending ladder. There is always room to move up, and with the moves upward, the money will get better and better.
