IN Media Watch Briefs | 10/09/2007

That media has become immensely paying is borne out by the news that the second and third highest salary earners in India are Sun TV CMD Kalanithi Maran and Joint MD Kavery Kalanithi, whose annual remuneration was Rs 23.26 crore each in 2006-07. They are second only to Mukesh Ambani who took home a total of Rs 24.51 crore. The Marans’ salaried wealth is in addition to their shareholder wealth as majority owners of the Sun TV empire.
