Glad my licence fee helps out those less fortunate then myself.

The only small mercy that's come out of this is the documentary proof that we're no longer funding Zane Lowe to steal our oxygen.

Some of it is quite weird. I.E Peter Capadi gets the same as an Eastenders actor? He is in one of Britains most successful shows ever. I am guessing it's a lower wage topped up by royalties from BBC Worldwide or something. BBC's Political Editor gets less than a Match of the Day 2 presenter....

Never heard of him

One of the biggest mysteries to me is how the vacuous Alex Jones is worth over £400k. The mind boggles, except at the BBC...

Given that Piers Morgan trousers £22,500,000, these salaries seem a bargain! (source - http://metro.co.uk/2017/07/19/piers-...eport-6790890/)

He must be making that up. Ant and Dec get about £10 million a year it seems so I doubt he gets paid more.

Piers Morgan doesn't get paid out of taxpayer's money so what he does or doesn't earn is irrelevant to this thread. We'll soon see how many underpaid BBC 'stars' decide to leave and realise their true worth. If they don't, maybe they weren't so underpaid at all and if they do the door will be open for some new talent. Win win from where I'm sitting.

I think it helps seeing what the industry is paying in general for the same sort of roles when judging the salaries of those at the BBC.

Only if you don't think they're all grossly overpaid. I'd be happy for people like Piers Morgan and Jonathan Ross to be paid a lot less for their dubious output but at least they're not being paid out of the licence fee.

It'll be interesting to see what some of these people have been posting on social media about greedy rich fat cats now we all know about the vast sums they're being paid.

They seem a drop in the ocean compared to premier league stars pay.

Yep £200,000 to £300,000 a week plus plenty on top for some.

I'd agree with that by the way. Their wages and transfer fees are obscene but once again they're not paid out of the TV licence. Also the BBC salaries quoted are only those paid via the licence fee, they don't include other earnings these people earn via the BBC or other commercial activities.
