2008-2009 TDGA Salary Survey

The following TDGA Salary Survey is Confidential. When completed, it will be combined with all others received and all traces of individual identity or stations deleted. Combined tabulations only will be made available to TDGA Members and Actual participants (members or non-members). Once we categorize your survey by market size, title or position and media-type, individual responses become non-traceable. We anticipate releasing the final Report in January, 2009. Please Note: You will receive a complimentary Copy of the initial Report only if all information requested is complete. If you fail to provide items such as approximate salary levels, etc. the entire submission is deemed incomplete and unacceptable. All Reports are PDF formatted and provided only in return for your completed participation. If no email address is provided, we will not provide you a complimentary copy. Your confidentiality is guaranteed by the Traffic Directors Guild of America, as stated in our Privacy Policy, published on our website.
