Just wondering how much the NHL play by play guys make for the local broadcasts. I've never heard anyone mention that.

Salary Expectations for a TV Sports Reporter
To quote:
"TV sports reporters earned average annual salaries of $55,000 as of 2013, according to the job website Simply Hired."
If this is the 'average,' then just covering a single sport would be at or below the average.
For radio, one would expect about 2/3s of the 'average.'

Ron MacLean was on a podcast I listened to once. (I think it might have been http://www.humbleandfredradio.com/listen-to-humble-and-fred/2012/12/ron-maclean.html ) IIRC, he said he makes $300,000. I've read that Don Cherry makes $800,000. Not local guys I know but might help as a reference.

It's fine when the show makes money. Never understood the criticisms of CBC spending money on hockey when they make more money from it.
Iv herd that Bob Mccown makes 6mil a year for his 4-7pm daily program on The Fan 590.
Ive never heard its that much, not even close, though I have heard $500,000 (2007-2011 Contract) & then possibly as much as $850,000 + per annum when he re-signed in 2011/12.... Not bad for a guy who started out as the Public Address Announcer at Blue Jays games years ago then worked for Global (then new) as Sportscaster/Newsreader & eventually hosted a show called The Business of Sports for awhile as well. He's number one in the largest media market in Canada (Toronto) with a national audience in the all important predominantly male 24-45yr old market so ya, he can demand a decent Contract. But $6M?!
I remember listening to his show in Detroit via a Windsor radio station. I heard he makes around $1 mil. $6 mil... No way. Still not many people make that kind of money in radio.
