"Wogan's Radio 2 programme is consistently the most popular breakfast show in the land, with 8 million listeners, on the UK's most popular station. His annual salary of £800,000 equates to 10p a listener, or £25.64 for each minute he is on air.
Chris Evans's return to the BBC has been lucrative for him, the leak reveals. The former Radio 1 DJ is earning £540,000 a year for the weekday drive time show he took over from Johnnie Walker, an unpopular appointment with some of the station's avid fans.
Steve Wright makes £440,000 a year for his afternoon show, Mark Radcliffe earns £197,000 for presenting his evening show and Ken Bruce makes £194,000 on the morning shift.
Michael Parkinson supplements his television chat-show salary with a £115,000 pay packet for his Radio 2 Sunday Supplement programme.
Last week it, was revealed that the Radio 1 breakfast DJ Chris Moyles earned £630,000, while the mid-morning host Jo Whiley is cited as earning £250,000, compared with Sara Cox's £200,000 for two weekend shows a week."
Seems a lot of licence-payers' money for playing a few records...
