Think that is much nearer the mark for Lord Evans than Camel or Tighty were.

[redsimon]

Norton  - £6m
Lineker - £1.5m he has BT Sport job, Walkers ads too
Evans - £3m
Marr - £300k
Kuenssberg - £200k

Wonder how many of the highest paid are employees or have companies which BBC pays ?

[TightEnd]

mostly self employed/freelance, paid through companies. Lineker is,he is open about it

of course for most the BBC £ is a fraction of their overall earnings (corporate hosting, ads, other tv work etc)

i know of one newsreader, a friend's company wanted her to host their awards do. £25,000 a night!

Think a lot of them have companies, & many have their salaries or fees paid via Production companies. 

When there was all that palaver with Jonathan Ross & the Russell Brand twat, it emerged that Ross was making his BBC TV Show himself, & the "salary" or fee the BBC were paying him included all the costs of making the Show, including, presumably, the wage costs for Ross's staff.
