["Mark Watson" <markwats@attbi.com>]

  According to Friday's Boston Globe, WCVB (Channel 5 Boston) news anchor
Natalie Jacobson has reportedly signed a new 3 year contract that reportedly
will pay her $2 million over the 3 years of the contract. The terms include
Natalie co-anchoring the weeknight 5PM news, solo anchoring the 6 PM
weeknight news, continuing her "at home" interviews that appear on Channel
5's newscasts, and will now be available to be viewed on their website
www.thebostonchannel.com . Natalie will also host 4 "New England Town
Meeting" specials a year, and will anchor several special events broadcasts,
such as the Boston Marathon live coverage.

   At the roughly $600,000 plus a year, does that make Natalie Jacobson the
highest paid news anchor in Boston?
