I don’t care what they get paid... 16:35 - Jul 6 with 2706 views | SitfcB | ...nor do I dislike any of them. MOTD etc wouldn’t be the same without Lineker and he is good at it. I listen to Radio 2 and like all of the ‘DJs’ on there. But for what Zoe Ball and Gary Lineker (especially Gary) do they don’t half get paid a handsome sum! Zoe Ball gets more annual leave than any ‘normal person’ I think https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-57733127 |  |

I always wonder how Scott Mills keeps a job on radio 1 - he was dire when I was a young'un, I can't imagine he's improved in the 20 odd years since. |  |

Weirdly, Dave 'too old for a backwards baseball cap, too bald not to wear one' Pearce has grown on me over the years. He was utterly unlistenable when he first appeared on my radar in the 90s. |  |

Just saw Faisal Islam on ~£200k. For an economics editor that's pretty frugal and well worth it. [Post edited 6 Jul 2021 16:55]

Now there's a blast from the past. I remember when he was on 6 music a few years back but have lost track of him since then. I think the last thing I properly listened to on radio 1 was Zane Lowe, used to really enjoy 'THE HOTTEST RECORD IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW'. |  |

I don’t care what they get paid... on 16:56 - Jul 6 with 1663 views | usm | I dont really get the issue with people's pay. We could all - in theory - be a R2 DJ or a pro footballer, but people seem to fixate on earnings. Some people are overpaid, some are underpaid. It will always be that way and it will always be a matter of opinion. |  |

I wouldn't worry about it. She's paid by the government as well. |  |

Yep, basically the same as it was then, even down to the tunes he plays.....you could probably play an archive show from the 80s and no-one would notice the difference.. |  |

What do you mean "you could probably play..." They actually have been doing that since last February. |  |

I don't mind Steve Wright's crap, it's all the others I have to turn off. Radio Caroline is good. |  | |  |
I don’t care what they get paid... on 17:24 - Jul 6 with 1494 views | Swansea_Blue | It's a lot of money isn't it. They say it's supply and demand and all that, but I'm sure the pool of possible presenters isn't that small and a lot of other would do a good job for a lot less. I wonder what their hourly rate works out at. I know the pundit on MOTD watch all the games, so that's a full afternoon and evenings work. But I've no idea what time Shearer turns up. And I assume Lineker's only there on a Saturday, as MOTD2 does all the Sunday and weekend games doesn't it? They must think he's worth it. |  |

I think Shearer and Lineker are there all day/evening as well tbf, Saturday show does all the Saturday games (and some Fridays when there’s on) Also obviously presents the live shows when games are on, FA Cup etc so a bit of travelling but I bet he doesn’t pay for his own train/car/hotel etc Not a bad gig. |  |

I thought they were contractors this selling their services to the highest bidder, Lineker also works on BT Sport doesn't he? The BBC shouldn't really compete with Sky, ITV, Etc for these people, they should be discovering new talent then hopefully the scummer would find himself out of work. |  |
