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
