Sue Simmons: Anchor Sue Simmons’ Ouster, There were 5 million reasons to oust Sue Simmons — and they were all in her paycheck. WNBC/Channel 4 refused to renew the nightly news anchor’s contract because she makes a whopping $5 million annual salary — which her bosses feel is absurdly overinflated — and she’s lost interest in her job, top network sources told The Post.

“It is a lot of money, and many people have been under the impression that Sue had been phoning it in for a while,” a station source revealed.

The salty Simmons, 68, who anchored WNBC’s nightly local news for 32 years, has become so casual at delivering her lines that she famously dropped an F-bomb during a live 2008 telecast. She apologized on-air a half-hour later.
