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?The Mad Monk said:
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!
They will know what the industry salary scales are, this won't be any more of a shock to those in the BBC than when Suzanna Reid left the same sofa for a £1m salary with ITV doing exactly the same job.Charlie Stayt who sits next to her on the sofa doesn't appear in the rankings.

Half of that according to this http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/itv-bosses-worr... Not bad when piers is probably the bigger draw.And BBC Breakfast still trounces them in audience figures (BBC had a record high of 38% audience share recently, Reid and co at 17%), so letting her go again highlights the need to say no to these 'talents'

Simple as that.

Would have been nearly £4m if these figures had come out last year.
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.
king 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.
Do your wages come directly from the back pockets of the Great British public?

Again, unlike their competitors the BBC has no financial reasons to chase big ratings.
Yes it does. Big ratings are an indication of quality and/or popularity. The BBC should absolutely be striving to achieve those goals. The reason for ratings is different- BBC need to give the masses sufficient amounts of popular stuff for them to gather the general publics loyalty and affection, as otherwise the grumblings about scrapping the license fee would turn into an unstoppable tide. Hence paying so much for Football rights.
If the BBC was funded directly from the public purse rather than tv licenses, it would not need to chase ratings and there lies the issue.

No, I don't work in a school, hospital, civic centre, town hall, job centre, library or any of the other numerous organisations funded by the public. I just don't think it's right that individuals pay should be published. It's a private matter, regardless of who funds it.
Tough ! - if I'm paying for something I want to know if it's being spent properly. If employees don't like that then they can switch to a private company.TwigtheWonderkid said:

But we already know pretty much what every public sector employee works, as the pay scale is published. You know roughly how much that teacher, nurse or doctor is earning. Same with many private companies if you put in the effort.All this is doing is adding transparency to the outliers, I don't see why you have a problem with it. The more transparency there is, the more governance there is.

How will that be in the best interests of the BBC?
Maybe they realise that there aren't an unlimited number of channels or presenting jobs and that their best option is to hold on to what they have?
Mobility in the radio and TV business is not as easy as some think, especially when most will recognise they are interchangeable with a dozen others offering the same thing.

Biggest shock I got (as I thought that really there's no surprises with the usual crowd) was seeing what this wooden head of an actor gets...Derek Thompson from Casualty get's £350,000 + per year, I don't know how he's survived, as he's the most hopeless actor I've come across.., No wonder he's smiling.

prime example of the BBC gravy train. Does he draw people in to watch, no? Would he get paid the same if they sacked him, no? CHOO CHOO all aboard.K-Cee said:

You've got to remember he's giving up his Saturday night everywhere!
Quite a few Casualty and Holby actors on the list, which I must admit did surprise me.
Earned his money tonight
