Lauren Laverne is on £400,000

And every fucking station and tv channel. Often simultaneously.

I missed that Shaun Keaveny was sitting in for Steve Lamaq today, so I'll have to give it a listen on Sounds. Much preferable than Huw

Steve Lamacq - Shaun Keaveny Session Selector and Low What's The Story - BBC Sounds

Shaun Keaveny is the Session Selector & Low unpick Just Like Christmas in What's The Story

Keaveny was on as Lamacq's guest, not hosting the show.

Fans of his old afternoon show pre-Craig Charles get some nostalgic treats.

Doing my usual muting thing every time Craig Charles does a link or an interview, I thought I'd check how much we're paying him.

£190,000. Which for context is more than the PM.

No wonder he sounds so fucking smug.

I’m no fan of his but tbf he’s one of the lower paid of the BBC’s ‘star’ presenters. if you think he’s on too much, that’s fine, but there’s some total nonentities making a fuckload more than him eg. Vernon Kaye on £320k, Sophie Raworth - a fucking newsreader - on £325k, Alan Shearer on £380k for sitting on a sofa one night a week, and John McEnroe on £200k for a few quips during Wimbledon fortnight. I don’t want to derail the thread but I think this is a case of ‘don’t hate the player, hate the game’.

Nah, I really really despise the guy, both for his inabilities as a DJ, as well as his well publicised history 'off the field'.

190k for his idiotic 'can youuu guess what year this was'? No idea what he's doing in a prime time job on 6.

Those salaries you quote there are obvs nuts as well.

Not his biggest fan (although the music is great) but what do you mean by "off the field"?
