In Reply To: Anchors are paid to be multi taskers...not only are they to look GREAT every night but also read it well give the story emotion and be funny and whitty and serious in one fell swoop! It's certainly not your typical 9-5 job but the pressure is all at once and to be honest it's more stress than someone who sit's at a desk all day and punches numbers or writes text. They are paid for being on TV period. IF you don't like it then get out of biz or be an anchor yourself. You'll soon learn it's more than what you think!
Message: not to be obvious or anthing but producers don't just sit and type. Try sitting in the booth for one or more hours dealing with several live shots, breaking news and demanding anchors. It's not that easy. And picking stories for the news cast isn't that simple either.
