I used to work with some folks whose spouses were local tv personalities and I got to tour the studio and watch some live broadcasts. It was pretty interesting stuff. I know of one CNN anchor who left CNN to go to that local affiliate for a giant pay raise. So it can be lucrative. But once social media took off, reporters were getting fewer and those who remained had more beats to cover. So you don't see a lot of them with expertise in an area they're known for, and they get spread kind of thin.
