" Dougal out of 'Magic Roundabout' £15 million."

It's no wonder the BBC have lost The Open, Test matches and countless other sporting events when you consider what they feel they have to spend on the likes of Lineker, Shearer and Barker.

Does Lineker pick up even more for his BT Sports presentations?

That's without the mugs that are on BBC but paid by a BBC production company thereby avoiding their salaries being published.

every hour of bbc tv costs £50,000 pounds, I worked it out a few years ago.

So Bargain hunt, being repeated is raking in a fortune as it's complete filler. Utter pap.
Any dead time during the night? Money is building up.

Look at the schedule and ask is that show worth £50,000 per hour.

I watched a programme on tv acquisitions? they went along to a exhibition hall
were different tv programme manufacturers sell their shows.
So one vendor was selling Columbo episodes - each columbo costs £25,000 to screen
on your tv station. If you buy multiple episodes the price dropped. So it might be only £12,000 if you screened a whole season?
So if you filled the BBC with imported products it could be a quarter of the price.
£12,000 versus £50,000.

We had a reveal of the salaries paid by Irish national broadcaster RTE a year or two back.

I think the Irish salaries, although lower that the BBC top salaries, were not far behind.
And the Irish salaries were very poor value for what we got / are getting.
We have some right planks.

As an Irishman I can say this is about the only area where England are superior.
BBC salaries have some relationship with performance.

Ps how can Lineker sleep at night?? Earning £1.8m for MOTD (which is utter gash) and once a year SPOTY.

The barstewards are more concerned about the disparity between the salaries of male and female presenters than the sheer obscenity of these salary levels.

Thanks, Dr Crippen. I don't bother reading the Politics forum because of the insanity posted there by a select few. (you know who they are).

Crazy salaries ...why what's the justification for us all paying the so much

I wonder how much Jimmy Saville was on

I had to google who many of these people were. Claudia Winkleman, no idea. Jeremy Vine .. I knew the name and see he's a quiz show host who does some radio. £700 a year?
He could have retired and become a pig farmer 10 years ago and I'd never have noticed.

Andrew Neil shockinly underpaid. He does real interviews and journalism and has to think on his feet. Huw Edwards reads autocue. A welsh Ron Burgundy. They should stick "Go * yourself San Diego" on it and see what happens.

Dan Walker, Presenter on at least 200k?
Hes a thigh slapping pantomime act ffs

eddie mair money

There was revue of the BBC before the referendum where some sharp changes were expected.
In the event the changes fell far short of what was predicted.

Perhaps the government did a deal with the BBC to back the remain campaign in return for giving them a reprieve. Or at least not to support Brexit.

Nick Knowles : £350,000 

A welsh guy on the phone in had jeremy smarmy vine by the ******** at lunchtime,came from a mining community where most people were crocked ( & skint) asked him if he was embarassed to pick up his pay cheque.Vine said hed rather not answer,welsh bloke said it was a very bad show from someone who spent 2 hours every day asking other people difficult questions.

Emily Maitlis threatening to quit wearing her thigh length boots must be worth a 100k at least

Must be annoying for her working with some complete plonkers who earn more than she does.
