MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has reportedly agreed to take a “far lesser amount” than her current $30 million a year as worries loom among MSNBC staff after parent company Comcast revealed its plan to spin off several NBCUniversal channels — including the network — into a new company.

Maddow, who has been with MSNBC since 2008, renegotiated her deal with the network and is set to make $25 million annually for the next five years, a $5 million per year pay cut, The Ankler reported Thursday.

Apparently she is the highest rated MSNBC show with a consistent audience. If SHE is “the best”...YEGADS!

What are the odds she actually sees that money. It may say that on paper but that money gets “washed” down from her to the various needs of the “movement”.

Remember how Elon cancelled the severance packages for Twitter’s top execs when he took over ? That was hilarious. Watching the same happen to MSNBC’s “stars” would be just as hilarious.

"Rachel Maddow has reportedly agreed to take a “far lesser amount” than her current $30 million"

Rumor is Madcow took a "whopping" 5 million dollar hit to her 30 million a year contract. LOL!!!!!!!

I believe this is the person who is Capt. of the sinking MSNBC ship and agreed to give the Madcow the 30 million.

So Rachel took a pay cut? Hardly, more akin to trimming her moustache.

Butch Madcow gets a haircut.

That’s probably fine with her, her is cut pretty short anyways.

$30 million is absolutely totally insane. Is this a payoff.

Not one of the other networks would have paid her half of that!

How can she possibly generate $30 million from that network?

For many at MSNBC either end up unemployed or go work for CNN.

Unfortunately I was unable to avoid seeing many of her “Russia, Russia” lies. That stuff should have rendered her permanently unemployable.

Musk should buy MSNBC and show a test pattern for a month.

It’s obscene that she makes that much money. How in the world can the station justify paying her that? But - if she can’t take the humiliation of a pay cut, she can always move to England and possibly live near Ellen D. and her “spouse.”
