DJs' pay scales ('60s-'70s)

[Doug Drown]

The WMEX thread, and particularly the info. about Bud Ballou, has led me to
wondering about something.  Many Top 40 DJs went from station to station,
presumably working their way up the ladder; it wasn't uncommon for a person
to stay at a station for two or three years (sometimes less) and then move
on.  What sorts of salaries did these guys get --- at WMEX and WRKO, for
example --- during the mid '60s to early '70s?

I remember reading that when Bob Dayton was fired from WABC (when I was in
junior high), he was pulling in $40,000 a year.  I assume that would have
been VERY much out of the ordinary.
