BBC salaries...

[The Gem]

I cant believe that the EastEnders actors are paid what they are, that is madness.

The scripts are sh1t

Do like a bit of Louise Minchin in the mornings but she is not on there.

Cant believe she earns less than Naga Munchetty and Dan Walker.

 

[Big_Unit]

He also raises a lot for children in need however £2m is exceedingly excessive in my opinion

It's possible that Evans produces or co-produces his output through his own company, which may explain the 0000s...

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

The boy Lineker done great.

 

[BBassic]

I feel like maybe I should care about this but I just really don't. Entertainers will always end up getting paid probably more than is deserved for the hours they put in. But then I have no idea what sort of hours they do actually put in, how hard the work is etc etc.

 

[Meade's Ball]

John Inverdale must see the world through rose-c*nted glasses every day payday comes around.

 

[Your Mum]

What does Gary Barlow do?

Your mum

£200,000 – £249,999 Andrew Neil – Presenter
£400,000 – £449,000 Andrew Marr – Presenter

Andrew Neil will be looking for a rise!

Andrew Neil is brilliant, I like Stephen Nolan on 5live but 3 times Andrew Neils Salary? And Vanessa Feltz on pushing 400K PA

Chris Evans earns more than Gary Lineker? wtf

 

[Titanic]

It does not include pay received through BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial arm or their earnings from other broadcasters/production companies or commercial activities.

e.g. Graham Norton for his chat show or the Top Gear presenters.

It is possible that Andrew Neil is paid more via other production companies etc... so it is not a full picture.

 

[Easy 10]

John McEnroe gets £150-£200k for 2 weeks work a year.

Nice.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Nick Grimshaw has the best job on the planet. More than £350k a year, VIP treatment and free tickets to every festival, lots of celebrity 'mates' to cling on to and the rest for 3 hours of chatting shit to your mates on weekday mornings.

To have that little talent and to do that well is quite an acheivement.

Can anyone tell me how announcing this helps anyone? What is the purpose of doing it - and don't give me "transparency" because that simply isn't necessary.

All this will do is create resentment and wage inflation. All competitors, who almost certainly pay more already, will see the amount they need to pay to poach talent, meaning the Beeb will have to spend more money to keep them. Add in the resentment within the company when people moan about "what they are earning compared to me".

How has this helped the running or the organisation in any way shape or form?

 

[Gazwag]

Has anyone mentioned Nurses yet?

Holby or Casualty

 

[AmexRuislip]

Given the BBC have released these figures.
It would be interesting on how much the money munchers on ITV get paid.
I'm talking about Piers 'Wenger out' Morgan and Philip 'me me' Schofield.

 

[Gazwag]

What does Gary Barlow do?

I assumed he did it for nothing in order to get his OBE

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Quite probably, but Neil does so many more shows than Marr, and is so much better than Marr.
Alan Shearer, what for? MOTD and not every week and talks rubbish.
The boy Lineaker must be swilling around in money as he also does BT Sport and his crisps money.
There are many on there that really do not deserve the money, is it pro rata because Strictly Come Dancing is only on from September to December are they paid for doing nothing for 8 months?

 

[dingodan]

Laura Kuenssberg gets 1/4 £1M.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

A lot of that list is crazy, but this is criminal;

£350,000 – £399,999 Tess Daly – Presenter

Shocking waste of money.

That was the one that raised my eyebrows the most. Terrible, wooden presenter.

i fear transparency is all you'll get. there's no practical purpose i can see. it'll be used to beat the BBC for a) paying people too much and b) not paying demographic x as much as demographic y.

It hasn't. And that's the point. It's just another step to create resentment and eventually justify carving off the best bits of the BBC so that someone gets to make a profit. For all its flaws, it'll be a sad day when our non-subscription TV & radio drops to the level endured elsewhere in the world.

This, all the way. But this government hates the BBC so I guess it was just another way to attack it.

As I've said before, I'd pay the licence fee just for 6 music so I really don't care what they do with the rest of it (apart from paying Shearer, that's just wrong).
