Alan Shearer
£400-£450k

W.T.F.

Absolutely shocking waste of license fee payers' money.

Didnt see that, assuming he only does MOTD that really is bad. I'd be pissed if I was Linekar given how much more he does.

Well at least Wright does 6 shows a week, and he must spend at least an hour a day on top, briefing his sycophants. Shearer is just Lineker's golf buddy. But I'll try to re-raise!

Stephen Nolan
As far as I'm aware, he does the wee hours of the morning shift on Five Live. Treble the usual rate for living like a vampire? He's certainly not particularly gifted, and I struggle to understand what he's saying a lot of the time.

£400-£450k ?
He must have a brilliant agent.

5 days a week prime slot on bbc northern ireland as well

I am calling the TD for a ruling, confident i am ahead

He's unique.

There's not another TV or Radio Presenter who can fairly be said to be worse than Colin Murray, John Inverdale & Sarah "Alan Partridge" Stirk combined, but Stephen manages it with ease.

Automatic One Orbit penalty.

I don't know the guy in question but i am struggling to understand how someone who is worse than CM and JI could have a job at the bbc.  Actually i think i have heard him late at night on five live on a drive home from a casino.  He sounds quite argumentative at times?  Is that the guy?  

Alex Jones at £400k a year is another shocker.  The one show is instant turn over tv for me as soon as the news finishes. There must be hundreds of pretty, girlie, quite simple bimbo types who could fill that role in easily at £100k a year max?  Just another one in the Holly W, Christine Lampard over paid/under talented types in the TV world who could be so easily replaced by hundreds more like them.

Would Holly have got where she has if she never married her first producer in TV?  Would Christine really have any high profile TV work without being married to Frank?  In comparison her former side kick who jumped ship to ITV from the BBC (Adrian Chiles) with her a few years ago in a huge 7 figure contract seems to have come right back down to earth on £200k a year now at the bbc.

Amongst the shafted few i think Fiona Bruce (£400k) and especially Brillo at £250k seems daylight robbery.  I thought Brillo would be close to being top of the tree.  He definitely needs a new agent.

That's the guy.

Dottun Adebayo shares the 5Live early morning show responsibilities, but he's bad enough to not make it into this list. Sure he's a lovely guy, but abso woeful as a presenter. Nearly always wrong with his recollections, and rarely has anything of interest to say.

On the other hand, I quite like CM in Fighting Talk...

[arbboy]

Seriously how can SN be worth nearly two Brillo's?  Just on the shows alone they present never mind the absolute difference in class between their performances.

Nolan works 7 days a week across three stations on BBC, his radio ulster talkshow in the morning is the biggest in the country. Him and his team have over the years uncovered huge political scandals, recently the DUP and RHI scheme.

I certainly think he is worth his salary and good luck to him I say.

[tikay]

Norton  - £4m
Lineker - £2m
Evans - £2m
Marr - £500k
Kuenssberg - £250k

None of it is clear cut.

Norton is listed as £900,000, but that is only for Eurovision & his Radio 2 work.

His "highly-rated" BBC1 Show is not included in the £900k, as the fees are paid via a Production Company, similar to the Jonathan Ross scenario I outlined earlier.

It transpires that in addition to the £900,000 that Mr Norton earns "directly" from the BBC for Eurovision & his Radio 2 work, he gets £2,600,000 from "SO Television" for The Graham Norton Show.

http://www.sotelevision.co.uk/productions.html


He actually half owned SO Television until it was sold in 2012.

Who owns it now?

ITV.

Remarkably, Camel's prediction that Graham Norton earned £4 milly pa from the BBC was not far out.

Be interesting to see how much Chris Evans actually earns when his "own label" Productions are included.


Amazing how much money these guys earn. The Graham Norton Show is on Series 21, he must be absolutely minted.

The old slept with the boss card.  Dare say you have never said a man got where he is by sleeping with the boss?

Holly Willoughby is pretty much loved by everyone.  She met her husband on the show.  A big chunk of people marry people they met at work, there isn't anything unusual.  It wasn't even her first tv show, and she won a BAFTA for her role in it.  Are you seriously suggesting she got a BAFTA because she was going out with a producer at the time?  I am guessing not, so she must have got it because she was good at her job.

If that wasn't ridiculous enough, you raise the bar with Christine Lampard.  She worked in TV from doing her A levels.  She was a main presenter on the One Show when she met him.  Surely she didn't get that job because she was going to meet Frank in two years?  She didn't get on Strictly because Frank would be along in a year. 

Takes 2 minutes to check shit like this.

A lot of women can get along just fine in their careers without sleeping with or marrying a man.

Surprised it took until page 4 for this abomination to get a shout out.

Some archaic 'analysis' every Saturday night nets him 400k+ a year? Absurd.
