R2 breakfast show has lost a million listeners since Evans left.
I don't disagree with that but the 8 million+ were there when she took over and has lost over 10% of them. I expect that it will settle back at another million less 'cos it certainly ain't the channel it used to be. It seems the BBC want a different 'younger' audience. As for the anti-social hours - she is probably chauffered in at whatever time she clocks on, no queuing for a bus or a tube, and a safe return home when the job's finished, I suppose. And a three hour stint + a wee bit extra aforehand and elsewhere for the BBC doesn't add up to the kind of money the BBC splash out. The folk who are struggling to find the nigh on £200 for the licence must be her biggest fans.She’s probably on less than Evans was and still has over 8 million listening.
I’m not a fan of Zoe Ball and I’m not defending her but if I had 8 million listeners every morning I’d want a big wack for it. She also works anti-social hours and I think workers should be paid extra working outside core hours(9-5)

Why are the BBC chasing ratings?
The program is tax payer funded so if it gets 1 listener or 1 million it matters not a fucking jot.
If it wants to operate in a commercial way it can do it in a commercial way.
I should imagine that if she has an agent, said person would no doubt have drawn the BBC's attention to the 'early' start and the Corp would have been happy to double the pay packet! They will no doubt have their own remuneration strategy and be happy to fully explain how they arrive at the sums they do, but it still leaves an enormous number of licence payers simply asking 'HOW MUCH?'The anti-social hours was a little tongue in cheek.
Regards the license fee, is it means tested? I.e do the unemployed have to pay for it? Whilst I agree with the license fee and I’m happy to pay it, no one should go skint because of the telly

I predicted this would happen. My next prediction is that this will become the most watched news channel in the country.
You reap what you sow mate, all people on the right really wanted was a fair and balanced approach to reporting the news. This is the next best option and was bound to happen.Probably, people like being scared or told they are the *real* victims
The BBC will tell us that they have to pay those amounts or their 'stars' will fuck off to other pastures. Were she paid half would she be thinking she was underpaid and bugger off to independent tv? I suspect she wouldn't. But if she did there would be no shortage of people who can sit in front of a mike and entertain us.The only comparison I can think of is Nick Ferrari who is likely to earn over £2.5k a show(that’s rumoured to be O’Brians day rate). So probably 600k+ a year and he doesn’t get anywhere near 8 million listeners
People in showbiz earn a lot of money. Is Zoe Ball with a million a year? The market suggests she is
I'd be interested to hear how it's right wing?
The news is the news yes? Are we now suggesting the BBC and Sky who run the 2 major 24 hour news channels are akin to Fox?
I don't see or hear it I really don't.
Nope...

Our Editorial Guidelines sets out what is meant by 'due impartiality':
"Due impartiality usually involves more than a simple matter of ‘balance’ between opposing viewpoints. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring that the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflected. It does not require absolute neutrality on every issue or detachment from fundamental democratic principles, such as the right to vote, freedom of expression and the rule of law."
why do they all deserve contempt ?
Most are very decent people trying there best for their constituents.

and another R/W party is started - no idea where he gets his 94% claim from but I am pleased to see this as its just more and more fragmentation on the right - no wonder the Tories and Johnson are going backwards in the polls
