£400k+ for his sidekick Shearer
THEIR pay packets may not come close to Gary Lineker’s £1.8million – but BBC’s other sporting stars still earn lavish sums.
Former England captain Alan Shearer commands a salary of up to £ 9,999 for his punditry on Match of the Day.
Shearer is paid more than twice as much as Clare Balding. The broadcaster, who hosts the Today at Wimbledon highlights show, earns up to £199,999.
Also in this pay bracket is John McEnroe, who earns nearly £200,000 for his twoweek stint covering Wimbledon. Question Of Sport host and Wimbledon presenter Sue Barker is paid up to £3 9,000, while John Inverdale and Olympics and Match of the Day presenter Gabby Logan each receive up to £2 9,000.
Final Score and snooker presenter Jason Mohammad was revealed to be another of the Corporation’s top earners in sport, with a salary of up to £299,999.
