So according to the Monica Collins piece the Five on 5 participants get paid
$150 to $500 per appearance on the show. Now even if  they paid every one
$500, that's amounts to $2,500 per week. Seems to me chump change for WCBV.
Oh the other hand...there's production overhead...etc. I bet the $2,500
spent of 5 on 5 talent doesn't even amount to as much as the weekly salary
of one their top news anchors...

Monica Collins in the Herald reports that this Sunday will be the last
edition
of "Five on 5."  A paid-pundit-free (read: cheap) public affairs show will
take its place in January.  Get those VCRs rolling...

BTW, Chronicle will continue.

Take care,
Chris
