How much do you think moyles gets paid?

[Adam]

£1 and a packet of sweet.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

what kind of sweets though?

I mean are you talking top end Fry's Chocolate Cream or some rubbish like a Wispa?

[Tom Holt]

i've heard he gets paid in spam

[Adam]

Mmmmmm, spam on toast.

[Quincy]

ergh. spam = rank.

maybe he gets a peppermint cream, chocolate cream and a turkish delight.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Turkish Delight would be a punishment.

[Quincy]

maybe if he has done a bad show he gets a turkish delight.

[Jono]

Minimum wage at Radio 1 these days.

[Sidders]

Seriously for a second, what do people reckon is the going rate for a national radio breakfast show presenter?

[Jono]

I read he was getting paid £300,000 or something in The Sun.

[Tom Holt]

Well he's been there ver a year and a half and it would seem he's only just been paid enough to get that webcam he's always wanted - unless it's a gold plated webcam the rates obviously not that much!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I read he was getting paid £300,000 or something in The S*n.

so we know thats no where near accurate then.

[Quincy]

well i thought that even the crappest at radio 1 get at least £100k. i would guess chris is on around £250k ish but i dont have a clue its just a random figure ive plucked out of nowhere.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

probably more accurate than The S*n then.

[Lucie]

Haha I guessed 5 million. Maybe not....

[Tom Holt]

he probably wouldn't be there long if they gave him 5 million a year - he'd be off already!

[Jono]

Sounds a good deal, he must have joined when the agreement he gets a pound for every listener. Must be worth around 7 million now

[MC]

I think probably around £350K.

Mark and Lard got £250K when they did it, and I'd think he'd be on more than them.

Still nowhere near Chris Evans though.. him and his production company got £1.7 million.

[Quincy]

£1.7m a year?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

that presumably would be for everything though... like studio time costs and all staff working on the team plus show expenses.

[MC]

£1.7m a year?

Yep, Evans's show was produced by his own production company, so basically no one on the show bar the newsreaders actually worked for Radio 1 - they just worked for Chris Evans.

So the £1.7 million was for all of them.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

if the bbc charge like other public orgs it will include a recharge for the news etc.

[Joe Boy]

Moyles got 300K when he started, I remember reading somewhere. But since his figures have gone up, perhaps he gets a bit more now.

[Quincy]

300k when he started breakfast you mean?
