What happened to giving scholarships to people who need the money?

As the wife of Ed Piette, outgoing GM at WCCO-TV and former GM at KSTP-TV, the family has means. In 1998, they bought a home in North Oaks for $937,000. The guess is that Ed had to be pulling in $300,000 to $400,000. Now the Piettes are headed to the East Coast, where he’ll be GM of two stations in Boston and one in Providence. Conservatively speaking, that ought to earn him at least $600,000 a year. » Read more after the jump →
