As the ASX repoting season ends for media companies, it makes for an interesting discussion to read how much comapny exectuives were paid over the last financial year. 

As part of being publically listed, certain media companies were made to report or make public the renumeration amounts given to executives. Such networks include Southern Cross Media, Fairfax Media, Pacific Star and the Macquarie Radio Network.

Other companies like APN News and Media, owners of the Australian Radio Network (ARN) release half-yearly financial reports that make it difficult to calculate total exective renumeration for the whole year, whilst companies like DMG Radio Australia are privately owned and don’t make such information publically available. 

Knowing that radio announcing heavyweights like Nova 96.9 breakfast announcers Fitzy and Wippa earn in the multiple millions each year, confirmed with a recent annoucement that the duo have re-signed a new 4 year deal with DMG to the tune of $11 million, do their executive counterparts earn anything near this for their input?
