Papasmurf Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 Never heard of half of these people. Interesting reading though. Bet it isn't going to make for a harmonious workplace. Looking at the disparity between Nick Grimshaw and Greg James for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKA Castroneves Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 The one i found most surprising was Zoe Ball's being so low in comparison with some others. She's been around the BBC for a while now and I would have hoped she'd got a bit more than that actually. There's certainly a few names on the list who are good value for what they do - and of course, others who are very overpaid for what they do. So, now the question is who's going to setup the online petition to get Chris Evans sacked so we could all save 20 quid a year off our license fee?

I'm not sure how hard that is to understand. Just pointing out the irony. I do understand the difference, but this isn't a thread about being forced to pay the license fee, it is about paying for talent and apart from Lineker, Evans and a few others most of them are paid less than what some of our footballers earn in a month.

But where is the irony? Footballers train almost every day. Do you think they just turn at half 2 on a Saturday and go home? In what way is this comparable to fronting a highlights show for an hour a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that actors and presenters just turn up for half an hour film and go home? Overpaid is overpaid, footballers are massively overpaid, despite their dedication and sacrifices it is an obscene amount of money that we continue to fund by going to matches, subscribing to Sky and BT and making the premier league the most watched league in the world. BBC talent is also overpaid for what they do, but nothing like to the extent that footballers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC talent is also overpaid for what they do, but nothing like to the extent that footballers are. Even if you give him five hours for the show on Saturday night it works out he's paid about £12,000 an hour. So in reality he's being paid far more than even a footballer like Messi on his hourly rate. But the point is we have to pay for the BBC even if we don't want to watch it, you don't have to pay for a footballers wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 Alan Shearer is paid 3-4 times as much as Clare Balding. Let that one sink in for a minute. Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 To be fair to Gary (not defending the overall cost) he probably also presented live coverage of the Euros in that year from France for 3-4 weeks. Possibly the SPOTY awards, and maybe a few other things as well. Context is rather missing here. eg £150k to Johnny Mac for 2 weeks could be WAY more expensive than £450k for Gimmy to present his painful breakfast show on Radio 1.

Babylon Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 All the BBC's competition will pay far more, most of this lot could jack in the bbc tomorrow and get paid more elsewhere. If we want to pay even less, then you'll just lose the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 I actually paid for a tv licence earlier today under threat of death.Got away with it for years though. We were caught a few years back in my previous house after several 'free'years and the fine was £100 cheaper than the licence . Not condoning it of course but they should pay us to watch some of that dross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the total opposite to the free market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicsmac Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 When you see Eastenders and the actors getting paid so much, you wonder why you pay the licence fee. Then you watch something like Planet Earth 2 and you remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopfkino Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 The problem is, does Gary Lineker add that much extra value to the BBC's coverage than say Mark Chapman who is paid say 1.5m less than him? And because the BBC is guaranteed revenue through coercion the answer is no, he probably provides no extra value because the programmes he works on aren't sold across the world, they don't really create revenue. I don't really have a problem with the levels of pay, though I don't understand the amounts some of the Eastenders actors are paid. But really, I don't believe these figures should be published nor do I believe it's in anyone's interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
