how much do presenters earn?

[cheeky chappie]

i couldn't see a general live tv section so i've dropped this in here but thinking about all live channels really. will their salaries be commission based? are they laughing all the way to the bank or in reality earning around the average UK wage? do QVC presenters earn 10x more than Bid presenters? is there a 'top dog' earning wise across all the channels? i'm intrigued ...

sure they will be doing better than the average wage judging by the items they say they buy themselves.

It could be a mix of ways of being paid as some people work for Ideal World and some work on a freelance basis like Andy Love.

How much they get paid I have no idea but I know many of them work elsewhere as well - Dave Bradford has a local radio show for instance and Debbie Shore writes sewing books.

It's not at all secure either, they seem to be hired/fired on a whim, regardless of ability
