I have wondered if BD has received money from media, especially NG. I can't imagine that NG would expect a person to go through all they do and bring in money for NG and the sponsors of their show and let a Mom of a missing child not be compensated. Does anyone know for sure if she does get money for appearing on the show?
I will say that NG did not in anyway compensate Billie or Clint for appearing on her show. At one point, there was a rumor going around town that she was getting like $5k an episode.
Billie and I were talking about this one day while the camera guy was setting up, and he was appalled. He said that any reputable news show is not allowed to pay their guest (besides transportation costs and hotel stays) because if they did, it would be considered 'tabloid' at that point.
