earning £1.35 million over the last financial year.
Radio 2's Zoe Ball is in second place. Her full-year salary dropped below £1m for the first time since taking over the station's Breakfast Show in 2019. Not all earnings are published - for example, Graham Norton's fee for his BBC One chat show is not included because it is produced by BBC Studios, which is classed as a commercial entity.
The stars of EastEnders, Top Gear and Strictly Come Dancing are missing for the same reason - although Claudia Winkleman's salary for her Radio 2 programme is listed. With those caveats in mind, here are the presenters who earned above £150,000 last year, according to the BBC's accounts.
In what universe is Vanessa Feltz worth more than popmaster legend Ken Bruce?
Taking 3 examples, there is no way in a million years that you can't find a presenter as good as Lineker for half his money (e.g Kelly Cates & I'm not saying she'd leave Sky), a pundit who is as good as Shearer for half his money & Vanessa Feltz, well... BBC Salaries Tax
Talk about rip of britain…. They dont know what hard work is and most are being rewarded for doing next to nothing
All you need is a gift of the gab and not much talent....there you go Boris job opportunity for you.
Now looking at this negotiated fees is the license negotiable too? Like I don't watch football but fencing and for Steve Wright I work in the afternoon anyway.
That's a lot of 'Just 43p a day' isn't it?
It’s obscene the wages these people are on this is our money these fkas are giving out out like confetti
Why are you underpaying Ken Bruce and overpaying J Vine BBC.
Most of these are part time. Huge divide
So much money for so little talent. Make me gag.
VFM?
Does Chris Mason work on a voluntary basis? Couldn’t see him name on the list?
They are not stars. Just presenters. They read out loud and talk about stuff just like the rest of us except they do it in front of a camera.
I could not care less
There’s something improper, impolite, something not British about looking at what other people earn.
How much does the Iranian Behrous gets?
Outrageous. Are they paid by our TV license or tax money?
Can’t believe Steve Wright is only worth half what Zoe Ball earns. Who makes up these wages. There’s some serious discrepancies!
This list makes me wonder if the bias shown by the news presenters towards tories and tory style policies is there because they are on so much and a top rate of tax increase would effect them and they don't want that
I don't pay their salaries for more than 10 years.
Sue barker covers 2 tournaments and earns more than an nhs consultant! My heads gone here! Something seriously wrong
Started reading it, but got sidetracked by the little up, down, stayed the same arrows, virtually none of which were correct. Made me wonder if any of it was accurate!
Why are they so overpaid? What skills do they bring that others wouldn’t who would accept much less remuneration?
I don’t get how Gary Lineker attracts such a huge salary for basically turning out once a week for a highlights package late on a Saturday night.
Where's Ian Wright?
And they’re worth every fucking penny of their bloated salaries. Said absolutely nobody.
Absolute piss take. Fund yourselves
all but one of them are completely unlistenable too !
Why does bbc never publish how few Scottish licence fee payers there are these days? Something to do with endless unionist propaganda.
Scandalous. Has anyone added up the total wage bill of all those listed? How many nurses, teachers and police officers would that fund?
A vulgar amount of money
Keen to find out how the average office worker for the BBC was rewarded. £50k salary hike
Naga Munchetty got an increase of over 100,000 pounds!
Disgusting whoever signed off this contract!
Want your mega pay restored Gary, everything is so pricey now
So ypu don't need to reduce quality as you claim, BBC, you just need to reduce exorbitant salaries that I have no desire to support with a ridiculous licence fee. Money down the drain for years on expenses and excess travel - and your idea of 'the best' to employ? Well ... 🤔😡.
You know what you can do with your licence fee. I resent paying for morons like lineker. Admittedly he says what you tell him to say about a variety of subjects but still. GaryLineker
They are not stars. They are self-employed or agency contractors.
Can we have a breakdown of hours worked and hourly pay to see if the salary is value for money
Waste of taxpayers money
Can't believe Zoe Ball is paid that.
British hating champagne socialists always demand a high capitalist salary, ironic
Get rid of Linekar and give it to Alex Scott!
Not keen on paying for so many sports presenters, never watched or listened to any of them. Would like to see these paid less and writers paid more.
Here we go again…
Far too much football on the BBC & his is a face I’d love to slap, sorry just can’t stand the smugness
