What broadcast technicians make
Median
$59,570
Small market start
$31,390
Top tenth
$123,670
The national median is $59,570 a year, but the bottom tenth earn about $31,390. That gap is mostly market size: a station in a town of 60,000 pays a fraction of what a network operation in New York or Los Angeles pays for the same skills.
