Are They Worth It? This is how much the BBC’s highest-paid radio DJs are earning……

From NME

Nick Grimshaw is the highest paid Radio 1 DJ.

Chris Evans, Graham Norton, Jeremy Vine, and John Humphrys are the corporation’s highest paid radio stars, though their annual salaries take into account fees for their TV appearances, too.

Nick Grimshaw is the highest-paid BBC Radio 1 DJ, followed by Scott Mills and Greg James. BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright, Jo Whiley, Simon Mayo, Zoe Ball, and Mark Radcliffe all appear on the list.

Of the 96 stars who appear on the list as a whole, just 32 are women. It has since been reported that some of the corporation’s highest paid male stars are likely to face salary cuts in order to close the gender pay gap.
