This has almost nothing to do with the thread or whether there is anything to gain from publishing salaries without some kind of context (i.e. measured against salaries obtainable elsewhere). They are paid, in part, by taxation but so are the salaries of staff within the many massive companies who rely on public money through government and local authority contracts yet there appears to be no great rush to show us those. Why for one and not the other?
All that being said, Lineker does look shit value.
£145.50 Is marvelous value for money for a excellent world class product , I disagree with all higher wages and have made the choice not to pay for Sky as that is the greed that drive the premiership obscene wages machine and money out of the pockets of the less well off footy fan .
And there are many more footballers than the 150 BBC people earning more than £150k PA (its more like hundreds on more than 150k per week) , and working out of ways to dodging their tax liability ,as best they can , better they paid into the society that created their wealth.
I'm shocked you cant see the utter imbalance of the argument .
Good post. BBC production standards keeps production values up in the commercial competition. We all win in that respect.
The BBC is not perfect. It has been bullied by the Tory Gov't over the licence fee and appears to have given in to them to some extent. And f*ck knows what happened to its news reporting.
But some some of these people are clearly paid too much, and not worth it.
Who would miss Chris Evans if he fooked off- really?
When we consider that their inflated swag comes from the pockets of millions of hard-working low paid workers who are struggling to make ends meet and will get into legal trouble if they cant afford the license fee, it is a bit repulsive.
Also, it does seem to be a bit lad heavy that list eh?
I hope that the 'fix' is not to equally inflate the wages of the most prominent women in the BBC.
Those blokes need a damn good trim first ..
It's just more divide and conquer and it's working, twitter's having a field day!!!, people (all people) take what they can get, I would guess that every single poster on this board would not turn down a pay rise, BBC is funded by public cash and should, I suppose be seen to get value for money but why stop at the BBC?.
Considering the difference between the pay for men and women,the BBC must be saving a shitload on the new Dr.Who...
Tv license should be scrapped. It's a joke
I disagree in part, yes the wages are big but that's just how much it costs to get someone who is good at that job.
I think Chris Evans is an irritating twat, but there's no way I could do a radio show that so many millions of people would want to listen to. It would be hilariously bad.
If most of these people were working for sky or itv their salaries would be much higher
I ve got no real problems with most of the salaries published here but I don't particularly watch MOTD because LIneker and Shearer are on. In fact with MOTD, I wish they would show more highlights and less punditry because sometimes they just go over the same thing,time and time again. As to Chris Evans, is some of his salary down to his brief stint on Top Gear?
A complete didvide and conquer tactic from the Government.
Some bell end from around these parts was ringing Jeremy Vine yesterday slating him for his salary. Aside from the fact Jeremy Vine is very good at what he does the whole thing reeks of a cheap shot from the government in an an attempt to distract from their ongoing catastrophes.
But hey those Daily Mail Express and Sun headlines look good though eh ?
I thought that this was illuminating re: the gender pay gap.

Up until the age of 50, there is effectively no pay gap at all.
Beyond 50 the difference is 4:1.
The highest earners for men are in this category, but there are very few women.
This probably reflects issues in the wider media, where it is much more difficult for older woman to get work than older men. Women are far more judged for their appearance than men in society in general, and this is magnified on TV.
By the age of 50, when some men have become trusted household names and able to command the biggest salaries, women are being excluded from this.
It's pretty hard to imagine Tess Daly presenting the dancing program when she's as old as Bruce Forsyth.
These people earn less than I thought they did.
I hope the public see this latest attack on the Beeb for what it is.
I think it will eventually be scrapped, and replaced with an online subscription service I.e. a monthly subscription to iPlayer.
I would prefer it was scrapped and paid for out of a miniscule raise in income tax. This way at least it would be progressive, and people won't be in jail for avoiding paying for it.
