Top 10 highest paid BBC news presenter/anchors 2023
The highest-paid presenter at the BBC is still Gary Lineker, but numerous high-paying positions have been eliminated as a result of the broadcaster’s ongoing exodus of well-known celebrities.
Lineker earned £1.35 million last year for anchoring Match of the Day and providing coverage of Euro 2020, easily surpassing Radio 2 breakfast host Zoe Ball, who came in second with £980,000.
Alan Shearer, Lineker’s coworker on Match of the Day, Stephen Nolan, the BBC Northern Ireland presenter, and Huw Edwards, the News at Ten anchor, are among the other top earnings listed in the company’s annual report. Each earned £450,000. Numerous celebrities earned raises in remuneration, with Radio 1’s Greg James receiving an additional £80,000.
