Chris Evans - Worth It?

[Hopkirk]

I say no, can't abide him and would happily see him gone from Auntie.

[goodgoalie]

Can't say yes or no unless you tell us the figure!

[Islay]

Well considering his radio show has millions of listeners there appears to be many that disagree with you.

[Hopkirk]

£2.2 million

It's very easy and lazy to say "I don't like something, it shouldn't be on"....not to mention selfish.
I'm no fan of Evans...but millions are.

Let's ask Chris shall we?

[ludwig]

No, and I can say that without having to know the figure.

[jno]

you can't tell unless you see the sums paid to comparable people in other media, which you won't because other media don't publish theirs.

[-Talbot-]

Yes, even if Chris himself says he isn't worth the wad ... you can't tell.

[albaqwerty]

that's eye-watering.

However, I'm sure some feel the need to pay the 'talent' to stay where they are.
(Unfortunately or not, depending on who you like)

Steven Nolan is the only radio presenter to be named. He gets between £400 000-£450 000. I think he's worth it.

[-Talbot-]

I actually like Chris Evans and find his shows listenable unlike say Nick Grimshaw but 2.2 million is way too much.

[bednobs]

the money will not just be for r2

[dannyk13]

Gary Lineker £1.75 million .Is he worth that?

[-Talbot-]

No he isn't, danny.
Alan Shearer gets just shy of 1/2 million for giving us 'analysis with hindsight'
My mate Gerry from the pub can do that.

[mallyh]

no he is not ,i just don't get why celebrities and film actors etc get such ridiculous amounts of money.

[albaqwerty]

am wondering if any of the 'commercial' media might be wanting to lure some of these folk away?
Alternatively, maybe some of their presenters are saying 'cor, I could get paid that if I worked for the Beeb'

[-Talbot-]

Who would want to lure Alan Shearer away?
He has all the charisma of a thing with no charisma.
