The disgraced newsman will still earn big bucks despite his demotion, insiders tells TheWrap
Brian Williams will still make close to $10 million per year despite his demotion to a breaking news role at MSNBC, which has at best just 10 percent the audience of the “NBC Nightly News” broadcast, an individual with knowledge of his compensation told TheWrap.
The insider said that Williams would be making “between $8 and $10 million,” adding that the figure represented what the former anchor considered a big cut in pay.
The disgraced news anchor was making closer to $15 million at the network, not the $10 million that has been previously reported, the insider said.
An NBC News spokesman declined to comment, saying that the network won’t discuss personnel contracts.
But multiple individuals told TheWrap that Williams’ salary cut was not as significant as might be expected, given how much smaller the MSNBC audience is than that of the network he was leaving.
