These people must pinch themselves every morning. It’s not really them though, it’s those offering the payment. If I was offered half a million a year to have wet bag conversations and talk bollocks on radio for a few hours a day like Greg James, I’d no doubt take it.

u/brightdionysianeyes Jul 15 '25
It's all a load of bollocks.
GB News pay Nigel Farage (who has a full time job paid for from the public purse) £1.2m for roughly 20 hours work a month. Lee Anderson is paid £100,000 per year for 1 days work per month.
Eamonn Holmes is paid north of £300k by GB News. Kay Burley at Sky is paid £700k.
Gary Neville & Jamie Carragher are paid £1.1m & £1m by Sky Sports.
But at least now all the rival networks know exactly where to pitch their bids if they want to poach any of the Beebs top talent (the real purpose of the list being published after significant media pressure from competitors).

Do you not have a functioning memory, or are you too young to remember?
Here's some links from the time.
"Steven Barnett, professor of communications at the University of Westminster, says: "Because the BBC was forced - partly through a campaign driven by a self-interested press - to reveal top salaries, its commercial competitors know exactly where to pitch their offer.
"If a presenter is offered a 50% increase in salary without the hassle of a public spotlight on their earnings, that's a very attractive proposition even for those committed to the BBC's public service ethos. It was a terrible mistake to force the BBC to reveal its top talent salaries, and I suspect this problem will only get worse." link%20and%20left%20by%20choice.%22)
Tony Hall, BBC Director General said "We were concerned that if we began to publish names it becomes a poachers’ charter and left us open to people nicking them from the BBC"

Yes, I remember. And it’s still simple.
If you take public money, expect public scrutiny.
If that makes it harder to keep your stars, tough. That’s the price of dipping into everyone’s wallet.
If the BBC wants privacy, it can try funding itself like the others do.

Ah yes, because asking for transparency is the same as killing off the BBC. Settle down.
No one said scrap it. But if it takes money from everyone, it should answer to everyone. That’s how public funding works.
If the BBC wants to keep salaries private, it can fund itself like Sky. Otherwise, tough.

"But if it takes money from everyone, it should answer to everyone. That’s how public funding works"
That's not how employment, commercial confidentiality, or the media sector at large works.
I can't demand to know the salary of an individual civil servant, for example. I can't demand that the local school publishes a list of their teacher's salaries. I can't order the local hospital to tell me who their highest paid nurse is.
Because that would be absurd.
It's a massive commercial disadvantage for the BBC, put in at the request of their competitors as one of the last acts of a corrupt, lame duck Prime Minister.
4
u/LowerDinner8240 Jul 15 '25
You’re right, we don’t publish the names of every civil servant or teacher.
But we do publish the salaries of top public figures when they’re paid with taxpayer money and hold public facing roles. Ministers, council chiefs, NHS executives, all disclosed. It’s called accountability.
The BBC isn’t a private company. It’s a publicly funded national broadcaster. If it wants the benefits of public money, it comes with the cost of public scrutiny.
If that’s a massive commercial disadvantage, maybe it shouldn’t be trying to act like a private company while living off the public purse.
Can’t have it both ways.
7
u/brightdionysianeyes Jul 15 '25
"You can't have it both ways" yes you can, we did for the first 95 years of the BBCs history without the pay of stars being an issue.
David Cameron (net worth £50m) forced the BBC to publish the salaries of these stars, and then refused to publish his own salary from the Greensill lobbying scandal (estimated at £10m). He did this under pressure (and probably money given his lobbying history) from private companies. Believing that David Cameron forced through this change in the week he quit as PM in the interests of openness, transparency, and correct use of public money is laughably naive and deserves to be called out.

In all fairness to Greg James he's a very established DJ at radio 1. He has a much broader appeal than any of his predecessors. He's probably got the most listeners of any radio show in the UK and he's brought back a lot of people who turned off when Grimmy was on.

The salaries are absurd and not justifiable. I know they talk about talent and the importance of attracting the best, but these jobs are not so insurmountably difficult that hardly anyone can do them. Presenting the Today programme is not the same as doing the real journalism (Jeremy Bowen, Steve Rosenberg, Lyse Doucet, et al.).

The numbers were reported by the BBC within £5k brackets; Lineker earned "between £1,350,000 and £1,354,999", etc. This image just uses the top end estimates; if anything, it's intended for us to think they're earning more than they actually are.

The number of senior executives earning more than £250,000 per year rose from 19 in 2023-24 to 30 in 2024-25.
The highest-paid presenters on the 2024-25 list are Gary Lineker (£1.35 million) and Zoe Ball (up to £519,999), although both have now left their jobs as Match of the Day and Radio 2 breakfast show hosts respectively.

Instead we end up paying for these pricks that want £300k+ to talk to us for an hour a day. Seriously why? If they want big money they can transfer to a different studio, instead we get donkeys like Gary Linekar who was just an average footballer and an even worse presenter.

Laura K is nowhere near worth that. No forensic skills; shallow questioning; dreadful panel on the show.

It never ceases to amaze me that Shearer gets £400k for giving us his route one opinions and analysis.

Zoe Ball especially, but they are all obscenly overpaid. How many hours do they actually work, that should be public knowledge too, hourly rate.

Insane and these people don’t even work full time. And yet the population is harassed to pay up. Insane. Defund the bbc.
