$5 Million – Michelle Beadle
Michelle Beadle began working for ESPN in 2009 and has since risen to become one of the highest-paid female sportscasters in the world. She has hosted and been a part of a number of shows for the network over the years, including SportsNation. With the purchase of her contract by ESPN in 2019, she effectively brought her time with the network to a close. As a co-host on getting Up!, the network’s attempt at a morning show hosted by Mike Greenberg, she was one of her last television appearances. Beadle has also worked with television networks such as NBC and HBO.
$4 Million – Andrea Kremer
Andrea Kremer has broken down barriers in recent years, most notably when she joined Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football broadcast as a color commentator. Together with Hannah Storm, the duo made history by becoming the first female team to announce play-by-play and commentary for an NFL game in the United States. Over the course of her illustrious career, Kremer has reported on more than 25 Super Bowls for a variety of networks. It was in 2018 that she received the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Awards for her “longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football.” She has won two Emmy Awards and was nominated for another in 2017.
