The Sun newspaper revealed recently how much many of the Radio 1 DJs earn. Radio 1 has banned the DJs from talking about it on all but apparently many of them are not happy.
Chris Moyles gets £630,000 but Jo Whiley is only on £250,000. Both do shows 5 days a week and for 3 hours and both a fairly well known personalities. I am surprised she doesnt get closer to what Chris gets.
Sara Cox gets £200,000 but she only does 2 shows a week.
Other salaries:
Scott Mills – £130,000
Edith Bowman – £175,000
Colin Murray – £170,000
Zane Low – £130,000
Pete Tong – £70,000 (he does only do 1 show and can get £10,000 a night when DJing in a club)
Terry Wogan (Radio 2) £800,000
Chris Evans (Radio 2) £540,000
Jonathan Ross (Radio 2) £530,000
I would have thought Scott would have got more since he does the drive time show and I think is second only to Moyles.
The Sun also revealed that Jeremy Paxman gets £240,000 for presenting University Challenge and £800,000 presenting newsnight.
It also revealed some Eastender salaries – apparently the Mitchell family earn the most. The top earner is Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell) who earns £360,000 a year.
