I know they stand to make significantly more when they make a live appearance, though I'm not sure how much.
So my question...how much does a DJ make? talk show host? The 2 figures I heard for 2 different people made me questioned why anyone would bother.

When I was in the biz, all the money went to the morning show. Your overnight guy made less than 20 grand a year , but there were some decent paying shifts doing middays or afternoon drive. Probably different now....
