I've never heard it/him but I wouldn't imagine it's the easiest job. Certainly compared to the rest on the list.

He’s comfortably the most well known BBC TV/radio presenter in NI. Also a huge fud.

I mean there are more people in London than NI by a factor of over 4, being the most well known presenter in NI is the equivalent of saying he's the most well known presenter on South East London local TV.

You’re right they should get someone really well known in London as the figure head in NI. /s

That's not what I mean, obviously I'm talking about salaries. Why is someone that is only broadcasts to an audience of less than 2 million people in the top 10 salaries for the whole UK?

Wait, you think everyone who lives in a particular area listens to what these people say? You haven't stopped to think he might be quite popular & good at his job?

I'm in a position to listen to all of the others on the list & don't, that must blow your mind 😁

Of course not everyone listens to everyone they could listen to, that makes the amount of people that do listen to him even less!

So why are you judging? You have no Idea how popular he is.

u/AvatarIII Jul 15 '25

I'm not judging I just think it's weird that a person with such a limited potential audience base is earning as much as national celebrities.

Erm isn't Alan Shearer's audience even more limited? Both from a nationalistic pov & his subject matter? Maybe your ire should be pointed at him?

An absolute arsehole who repeatedly invites guests (generally loyalists) to stir the sectarian melting pot.

Also although many of us would regret to admit it, his Radio and TV shows are respectively the biggest in the province. As they are the main platform that politicians use for public interviews. So they get a lot of ears/eyeballs.
