The current issue of TV Guide in the States offers its annual estimate of top earners on screen, based on "conversations" with agents, network execs etc.
In news, Matt Lauer, at NBC Today, is thought to lead the field, on $22-25million. Here's some of the rest..
Bill O'Reilly, Fox News $17 million
Diane Sawyer, ABC World News $12 million
Anderson Cooper, CNN $10 million
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC $7 million
Megyn Kelly, Fox News Channel $6 million
Scott Pelley, CBS Evening News $5 million
Ann Curry, NBC $5 million
Hoda Kotb,NBC Today $3 million
Chris Cuomo, CNN $2.5 million
I feel sure the absence of Piers Morgan from this list is an oversight. Though when he first signed with CNN, the four-year contract was said to be worth $5.5m - and Piers was still on America's Got Talent.
In the total absence of conversations with agents, network execs, etc, I offer this tentative ranking of the UK's top earners in "news" presentation.
David Dimbleby
Jeremy Paxman
John Humphrys
Fiona Bruce
Huw Edwards
Evan Davis
Jon Snow
Mark Austin
George Alagiah
Sophie Raworth
Mishal Husain
I look forward to being corrected by those of you slaving away in newsrooms on one of the nicest Bank Holidays in years...
