What broadcasters make
Median
$47,340
Bottom tenth
$28,190
Top tenth
$138,440
The national median is $47,340 a year. The bottom tenth earn $28,190 or less and the top tenth $138,440 or more, in 2025 figures. Read that carefully: these yearly figures assume full-time hours, and many announcers are paid by the shift or the hour and do not work full time all year, so what they take home in a year can be lower.
