Well if Jo Whiley is getting paid £275k a year and Scott Mills is on £250k. Chris will easily be paid around £500k.

:

How do you know this?

[lyreco]

ive heard he is on £5.50 an hour and if he keeps up the good work this will rise to £5.80 in the new year.

Haven't seen it posted anywhere else so - http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006170126,00.html

If it's anywhere near correct I'm a bit shocked about Scott and Zane's pay. They have the be Radio 1's top Dj's along with Moyles.

Sara Cox £200k for 2 days? Money well spent eh.

Colin 'and' Edith have become a joke, they are hardly ever on air together anymore, they ought to have £170k to share.

[Sidders]

To be fair to C&E, I think it's good how one can do the show without the other. I hate it when they have to mess about with the schedule when a DJ goes on holiday.

[microchip08]

Colin or Edith.

And the Sun is a bit well..... would you trust a paper with something dodgy on page 3?

[Sidders]

Why is a woman with her baps out dodgy?

[Jono]

Colin or Edith.

And the Sun is a bit well..... would you trust a paper with something dodgy on page 3?

So you'd trust the Daily Mail instead?

According to the Evening Standard Lite this lunchtime, Moyles earns 630k a year, with Jo Whiley earning 250k, the next highest salary.

For some reason it then goes on to say that this means he pockets £15 a minute of Tax Payer's money while he's on the air.

[riksweeney]

Oh, and Edith apparently earns £5k more than Colin, who is on £170k

[MC]

This is interesting. 630k a year? Jesus.

Thanks McQueen, I've posted this on the homepage now.

[Dickie]

[Jono]

It's all gone Pete Tong

[MC]

I'm surprised Colin Murray's on more than Mills. Scott's been there twice as long surely..

[Dickie]

Sara Cox still sitting pretty, sheerly amazing.

She earns 200k a year for talking about her family on air in an annoying voice for a few hours every weekend.

[Jono]

Good to see those job cuts at Radio 1 paid off

[Asa]

Makes you wonder if any callers will have a pop at him when he returns.

Although The Sun's accuracy for reporting is well documented (see the Rooney apology on the same page!!), a Beeb spokesman has said how disappointed they are at the figures coming out so it suggests they're pretty accurate.

It's when you think of it as £15/minute which really bowls you over - and I bet that's including song time!

Saying that, I'm still looking forward to him coming back on air.

From Media Guardian:

The BBC is to launch an internal investigation after the salaries of EastEnders stars and Radio 1 DJs were leaked to the press.The corporation believes a BBC insider may have accessed a computer database containing extensive staff salary details and is investigating where the security lapse could have occurred.

A spokeswoman for the BBC said: "Clearly we are very unhappy that this information has been leaked. We would never discuss salaries. We are looking into it."

[sparkly_ruth]

A lot more than I expected (I was expecting him to be on about 130k) but I do think he's worth every penny!

Any ideas what Dave is on?

...let the argument begin of either "why does he/she get.." or somthing of that nature.

[fish heads]

Thanks for reading this thread in it's entirity

[MC]

Are you reading this thread Radio?

The last two pages are about that.

Some of the comments on Media Guardian about this are quite amusing..

What nonsense! At £630,000 my old mate Moyles is a bargin. He'd be worth twice as much in the commercial sector. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they're talking about.

Good old Nick eh. Also this made me laugh:

I think Chris is worth every penny. In fact, he should be paid more. Then again, I would say that, as I run his local cake shop.
Posted by JackBurton on April 13, 2006 03:51 PM.

Also get this, Chris is raking in £446,068 more than the prime minister Tony Blair and £171,000 more than his ultimate boss, the director-general of the BBC Mark Thompson.
