Welsh presenter Jason Mohammad received a 15,000 pay rise last year, BBC figures have confirmed.
Mohammad, the face of the BBC's Final Score programme, earned a salary of between £285,000 and £289,999, an increase from the £270,000 to £274,999 he received the year before. The Cardiff City fan also has his own BBC Radio Wales show and is a regular presenter on snooker, as well as the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
However, he was only the 20th highest earner in the list of on-air talent, which was topped by Match of the Day presenter Gary Linker for the fifth straight year.

Lineker was the only one to earn a salary exceeding £1 million a year. The figures show the 61-year-old was paid between £1,350,000 and £1,354,999 in 2021/2022, which was actually a reduction of £10,000 on his earnings last year.
He remains ahead of Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball, whose salary also slipped for a second consecutive year, dipping below the £1 million mark to a salary of £980,000 to £984,999.
Meanwhile, football pundit Alan Shearer has enjoyed a year-on-year increase of £60,000, bringing his salary to £450,000-£454,999, which puts him joint third with Steve Wright, whose salary this year reflects a £15,000 decrease
The only new addition to the top 10 is Greg James, whose salary has increased by £80,000 to between £390,000 and £394,999 for work including the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, Rewinder on Radio 4, Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
Meanwhile, Welsh news presenter Huw Edwards saw his pay packet fall by £15,000, although he remains in the top 10.
Here is a full list of BBC on-air salaries for 2021/22 above £150,000, as published in the BBC annual report.

Jason Mohammad seems to do alot more than many and I'd have thought he'd be higher up the list.
Remember aswell that Linekers figure is only what the BBC pay him. His total earnings will be alot more.
