Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mike Knott has been working in broadcast journalism for 47 years, which is a long time. His experience as an Assignment Manager at KOLD News 13 (CBS) and photographer at NBC suggests he has a strong foundation in news gathering and storytelling. However, his role is in a smaller market (Tucson, AZ), which might impact his earning potential. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, median annual salaries for broadcast news analysts in the US are around $43,000. Considering his experience, I would estimate his hourly rate to be lower than that, around $75 per hour, which is a rough estimate based on national averages and taking into account his location.
