my step brother is a deputy head at a school in shirley. has a second interview for a headteachers job somewhere in basingstoke. he is 27

[MK Chris]

Back to the topic, did anyone notice the thinly veiled references to the salary leaks? I only listened until eight but I caught two or three.

[Console]

I noticed them, and I also noticed the very coincidental news report about people complaining that some doctors are being paid too much; as much as £250,000.

[oliver]

i get 22k as im a head of department

[mlawton]

yep, I had a feeling he'd slip a few comments about salary in. He said quite a lot. I can't remember what it was about but he said he could afford better tickets than Jo Whiley and then right at the end when speaking to Jo. He says "can I borrow a fiver by the way?". LOL

Brilliant.

[MC]

Ha, I knew he wouldn't be able to resist saying something.

Worth every penny.

Also, Daily Mirror pages 4 & 5 today - Wogan is on 800k, Ross is on 530k.

[Jono]

Yeah he was on about his private palace with Wogan, and the other Radio 1 DJ 'huts' where Edith has a slightly better one than Colin and Scott Mills has a hammock

Bloody Hell, 800k?!

[MC]

Ha. Just doing this uni essay, and have access to one of these online "newspaper archive" things where you can search for articles to quote..

Anyway, I typed in Chris Moyles and it came up with 679 articles in the past year. Jesus! (I'm sure plenty of these are radio listings but still). Quite funny reading through all the Joe Mott stuff for the first time..

Here's the Wogan article from today if anyones interested:

DOSH JOCKEYS;
EXCLUSIVE BBC PAYDIO TWO RADIO 2 PRESENTERS ON POUNDS 3MILLION A YEAR

BY NICOLA METHVEN TV EDITOR

RADIO 2 DJs are coining more than 3million pounds a year with Terry Wogan on a top wage of £800,000.

It means Sir Terry, 67, pulls in 10p for each of his eight million daily listeners - a rate of £25.64 per minute while on air.

But that is half Jonathan Ross's pay-per-minute of £56.62.

For while Sir Tel hosts five two-hour shows a week Jonathan, 45 - who earns £530,000 - fronts only one three-hour show on Saturdays. It has 3.4 million listeners.

The stars' giant salaries will jolt Radio 2's afternoon presenters who still get big money, but at a lower rate.

Chris Evans, 40, is being paid £540,000 to take over Johnny Walker's Drivetime from today. Hosting the two-hour, Monday- Friday show earns him £9 a minute.

Steve Wright, 51, earns £440,000 for five three-hour shows a week with an audience of 6.5 million. Steve added 270,000 listeners in the latest official figures. But his pay works out at "only" £8.30 a minute. Weeknight entertainer Mark Radcliffe earns £197,000 for his mix of poetry, interviews and live music from 10.30pm. Ken Bruce coins £194,000 for his daily morning programme.

Janice Long makes nearly £137,000 for keeping night owls listening from midnight to 3am five days a week.

Ross's fellow chat show host Michael Parkinson, 71, earns a relatively meagre £115,000 for his once-weekly Sunday Supplement on Radio 2.

Bob Harris presents three different shows a week covering country, new music and classic hits - but nets only £96,000.

Their Radio 2 salaries are on top of any other work they do for the BBC.

A Beeb insider said: "The range in the amounts paid to the DJs is astonishing. Obviously, Wogan should get the most. He's on five days a week and gets the biggest audience so it stands to reason.

"When you consider he gets 10p per listener it seems very good value for money. But Jonathan Ross does very well indeed considering he's only on for three hours a week compared to Wogan's 10. The pay scales don't seem particularly fair."

Last week it emerged that Radio 1 host Chris Moyles is on a massive £630,000 a year, £13.50 a minute. His five days a week three-hour show attracts a daily audience of 6.7 million.

Moyles's pay dwarfs that of other big names at the station.

Last night a BBC spokeswoman said: "Salaries and contracts are confidential. We never discuss them."

[Jono]

The BBC are going to have to work quicker with their investigations. Watch out Radio 4 DJs

[Betti911]

I was speaking to a 36 year old headteacher the other night. I mean - thats quick career progession if you ask me.

Not really I would expect to be a partner in a law firm at 36. Thats 10 years time.

[Gigglyboots]

Yes.. I graduate at 21, so if I was 36 and in the same career, thats 15 yearsm quite a while.

Would this not be the price paid for the contract? Out of this, he would have to pay his staff wages - Dave, Rachel etc etc? Similar to Ginger Productions (Chris Evans)

[oliver]

i like the show but he seems rude at points, he said on a promo that he was to important to meet the queen, the money has gone to his head. I used to work on a local radio station and the top guy who i cant name as wel i cant was on 30k for 5am-10am. i understand that iits national station but i think its to much 630k.

im ready for more personal atttacks at me now

[Console]

Did you actually hear the show, or just listen to the promo, because if you listened to it then it should be obvious that he was joking.

You've not used the right tense throughout that paragraph.

You're supposed to say that someone is "TOO important" - think 'two o's is too much'. Get it? Plus you've not put in any apostrophes.

YOU'RE NOT A TEACHER

no moyles doesn't employ those staff radio 1 do. It was different for evans cos he brought in his own staff. Anyway it is an obscene amount when you think theres starving kids sleeping rough under railway bridges it would be different if it was commercial money but its us thats paying it I would rather see my taxes spent on worthier causes than moyles's drinking budget.

I'm sure Dave isn't employed by the BBC, he's on a separate contract.

[donnie]

if he was who pays him for the shows he does with chappers? moyles?

Haha classic...

[Sidders]

The BBC pay him, but AFAIK both Chris and Dave are freelance.

[donnie]

the point is daves pay doesn't come out of moyles's 630k

I can't believe this thread has gone onto 7 pages were all obsessed with money!
