Am I misunderstanding, or do you seriously think NPR on-air talent is making in excess of $300,000/yr?

Employees cost a business much more than their salary. There are benefits, taxes, insurance, administrative overhead, etc. There's also the cost of replacing them.

Morning Edition and All Things Considered are hugely popular. Broadcast personalities on a national stage usefully get compensated pretty well.

According to NPR's IRS form 990 the hosts of Morning Edition and a couple other big shows do indeed make over $350k.
