Jim Traber is about to become one of the highest paid media personalities in Oklahoma – if not the THE highest – when he signs a new 3-year contract with WWLS, The Sports Animal.


Traber's current contract is set to expire Oct. 31st and he had been courted by the new sports talk station, The Franchise (KRXO).

However, the SA made him an offer he couldn't refuse and Traber will stay on. His shows continue to dominate in the ratings.


His 3-year deal will be in excess of $300,000 annually (closer to $400K) and increase each of the three years.

This may be the top salary for any Oklahoma media personality, although Mike Morgan and Linda Cavanaugh of OKC's KFOR-TV are in the same neighborhood.


Can't reveal my sources on all this but they are rock solid. Expect a formal announcement very soon.
