Yes, because he's really struggled to find lucrative employment over the years

That didn't answer my question. Would Heart pay him £2.25 million to do a breakfast radio show?

If the BBC sacked him, why would he do another breakfast show. I suspect he's do something else on telly, for probably more than £2m. Do you think he would be queuing up at the job centre? He's lost jobs before, and quit them. He seems to still have been in demand.

If the BBC sacked him will he get another radio presenters job paying £2.25 million?

Doubt it.

And his last few TV shows for ITV (OFI Sunday cancelled after 5 shows) and Channel 4 (Famous and Fearless axed after 1 season), along with Top Gear were all failures, so I doubt he will be in demand for primetime Telly.

Well why aren't you gracing the airwaves on £2m a year then?

Zoe Ball's dad was on the telly which may have helped her get started, but Evans came out of a working class estate in Warrington. How come he's where he is, and you, for all your knowledge, are, just like me, p1ssing your life away on a motoring forum arguing the toss about his salary?

Obviously you didn't read my comment on cronyism at the BBC, if you've never dealt with them you wouldn't understand.

That doesn't really explain why Chris Evans made it and you didn't. I know why I didn't...lack of talent and creativity.

I wouldn't say working in Electric Lady Studios and Abbey Road is not making it, would you? When you having lunch with Bob Clearmountain, Jimmy Iovine and Shelly Yakus at your place of work it's a few rungs up from that tt Evans.

Naga Munchetty gets £150,000 to £199999 for presenting on BBC 1 Breakfast.

Charlie Stayt who sits next to her on the sofa doesn't appear in the rankings.

No wonder she looked so cheerful yesterday and he looked so grumpy!

Publication of these figures must have upset a few people when they found out how much their colleagues are getting paid!

[Halb]

Maybe he gets paid via independent production company, like Portillo is?

There's only one thing that makes me cringe it's Evans copping £2.25 million of the publics money for doing a 2 1/2 hour radio show five times a week.

Not me. I can't stand him and never listen but I don't grudge BBC salaries at all.

With one or two exceptions, they are average - though not especially good - salaries for London professionals. I'm surprised they are t on more and assume that many top up with other work.

Huw Edwards 'overpaid' on £550k pa?! Get real; the guy is the key anchor for all BBC main TV news slots, covers all ceremonial/national significance broadcasts and produces documentary content galore - all for the same as a salaried partner in a reasonable sized London law firm.

What really annoys me is that the BBC pandered to the Daily Mail reading little englanders and published this.

Precisely. Good to know I wasn't the only one surprised at how little some were paid.

Getting someone of Laura Keunssberg's quality for £250k is a cracking good deal.

I think she's brilliant. The left think she's a tory, the right think she's a commie, and I want the main BBC political correspondent to be mistrusted by both sides. Shows she's doing a good job.

If the Beeb don't up the ante with her, she'll be on Sky or ITV soon for 4 times the money.

Please explain why you think she isn't a Tory. As I read somewhere else she looked like her cat had just died from the point the exit polls came out on election night.

Would have been nearly £4m if these figures had come out last year.

Who?

Never heard of them.

But I'm impressed. Managing to combine a high flying job in the music biz, obviously on a salary in excess of Evans as you think you're clearly more successful than him professionally, and yet still finding time to waste arguing on an internet forum, a pastime usually reserved for losers like me.

I feel humbled to be sharing the same band width.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of that conclusive proof of her Tory affiliation. Some bloke on t'internet heard that she looked miserable when she realised the Tories had done badly.

I mean, that's almost on a par with finding her actual Tory party membership card.

Someone on the internet heard that........Christ, smoking gun or what!

Kin unbelieveable!!
Rather than feel embarrassed this week they take the piss with Evans saying "Ask me mum what she thinks" and Lineker saying he's "annoyed that Evans is getting more than him". You've got to hand to them they've got some front.

[Roofless Toothless]

Apologies if this has been raised previously, but 20 pages of this at this time in the morning isn't at the top of my 'to do' list.

Do many of these high earners have exclusivity clauses in their contracts? If I was capable of earning good money with other channels, but the BBC wanted an exclusive hold on my services, I think I would like it to be recognised in my remuneration.

If I was one of these highly paid bods, I would just be answering every question with "mind you own fking business". The govt can force the BBC to reveal individual's salaries (which I think is utterly disgraceful but that's by the by), but the govt cannot force an individual to discuss or justify it.

My salary and if I'm worth it or not is not something i would discuss, even if the figure was in the public domain.

[Lance Catamaran]

I'm just enjoying how the BBC has spent years propagating the myth of the gender pay gap, and now it's come back to sting them. All of a sudden it's now a hotbed of institutional racism and misogyny.

Why are you so angry about this?

Do your wages come directly from the back pockets of the Great British public?

We don't know what either of their contracts say, or any of the other presenters for that matter, so it's very difficult to draw any conclusions from the pay reported in the media. Does Stayt do other programmes or other jobs off camera? Does Munchetty do the same presenting hours? Does she have more editorial say in the programmes? We just don't. It may be that Stayt is self employed and or paid through a 3rd party so not on the books at the BBC. Or, Munchetty is better at negotiating and got more money.

Well I watched the election coverage myself on the BBC and would agree with that assessment. You should maybe go and watch it yourself and we can have a grown up discussion about it.

In 2017 the BBC Trust ruled that Kuenssberg was found guilty of breaking the BBCs rules on "impartiality and accuracy" regarding an interview she did with Corbyn on the Six O'clock News. The piece was edited to make it appear that he disagreed with the use of armed police on the streets in the wake of terrorist incidents.

Read into that what you will.

Haha,chris evans the most highly paid "talent" at the bbc, i dont think i could think of a more defining critique of all thats wrong with the beeb.

Except, whats his trick do you think, he knows where the nonces are hiding?
