for those of us who must negotiate our own contracts, what are some typical market "outs?"
- for instance, if you're in a mid 60-70 market is your "out" a top 20? or lower?
- when do they kick in?
- are you restricted from leaving during a ratings period?
- how much notice must you give your station?
thanks for sharing the info! |

top 25 seems reasonable, but nowadays it can be a tough sell getting any type of out.
the 'kick-in' probably depends on what shows you anchor. if you're the main anchor, probably longer than you'd like.
it would be very unlikely that a) you'd be allowed to leave during a ratings' period or b) a station would hire you during that time.
again, depends on what shows you anchor.
good luck.
