Certainly we've seen the news change over the years compared to the Ted Koppel days, but that has only meant that the thirst for entertaining broadcast news analyst is in even higher demand. The broadcast news analysts job is to read and interpret the news. That seems like it should be easy work, but to actually deliver it in a way that is engaging is where this becomes so difficult. Not everyone has the qualities it takes to read off a teleprompter and not look like a total fool or make audiences lose interest. That's a good argument for a broadcast news analyst making good money.
These professionals may earn an annual wage of nearly $90 000, but some positions are obviously paid better than others. The highest demand for Broadcast News Analysts is currently in Washington. Those located in Oklahoma seem to earn the most at an average of $93,000, with Arizona and Colorado following closely behind.
