The full list of BBC on-air salaries above £178,000 for 2023/24 has been published, with big names such as Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball leading the way with their pay packets.
The BBC 's annual report has revealed the salaries of its on-air talent earning over £178,000 for the 2023/24 period. The list, which is ranked by salary band from highest to lowest, also includes a comparison with the previous year's earnings.
Director general Tim Davie defended an increase in the salary of Huw Edwards, who resigned in April last year following allegations that he paid a young person for sexually-explicit photos. “But what you’re trying to do, and from the onset of that affair, was trying to act proportionally, fairly and navigate this appropriately.
“I think that’s what we did and it ended up in the conclusion, we all know, but I think we wouldn’t have wasted money if we weren’t doing the right thing.
