NBC Sports announced that all of its on-air personalities have agreed to take voluntary pay cuts through the end of 2020 as the company, like many others, navigates the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
NBC Sports Group President Pete Bevacqua made the announcement in a statement.
“Our on-air personalities reached out to see how they could contribute to helping our company during this difficult time. … It’s another reminder of the truly great team we have at NBC Sports and how we’re all working together to get through this immense challenge,” Bevacqua said.
The pay cuts, first reported by Sports Business Journal, range from 5 to 10 percent, while NBCUniversal executives are taking 20 percent pay cuts.
The roster of on-air personalities at NBC and Golf Channel includes Dan Hicks, Mike Tirico, Roger Maltbie, Gary Koch, David Feherty, Jimmy Roberts and Paul Azinger, among others.
Sports Business Journal also reported that ESPN and Fox Sports have had their on-air personalities agree to pay cuts.
