Berlin – Every day at 8 p.m. sharp, the “Tagesschau” reports on current world events, reaching more than ten million TV viewers.
That's why the presenters are no longer just news anchors, but real celebrities with a large fan base.
But what does a “Tagesschau” speaker actually earn?

“The speakers are freelancers who receive a fixed fee for a broadcast,”

quoted former “ARD-aktuell” boss Kai Gniffke as saying.
The “Tagesschau” presenters do not receive a fixed salary, but are paid per broadcast.
“For orientation: For the main edition of the 'Tagesschau' a speaker receives 259.89 euros.
