Radio DJ`s are prominent figures in the South african entertainment industry and are well respected within the media fraternity. With stations like Metro FM who boast household names in the industry like DJ Sbu, Glen Lewis T`bo Touch and the likes they have to fork out large amounts of money every month to keep the prominent figures within their studios. Radio DJ`s have 1 of the few relaxed jobs in the world with their shows airing for 3-4 hours a day but that does not mean thir salaries are as short as their working day, Dj Sbu was reportedly earning a huge salary of R200 000 while still doing the breakfast show at YFM. The likes of Fresh and Gareth Cliff who are doing the brekfast and drive time shows respectively on 5fm are also rumored to earning big bucks for their 3 hour shows.
so do you want to be a dj?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I take Radio very seriously
DeleteMmmh very interesting angle you tackilng my brother, yes indeed they are earning extremely much hey to an extent that within this 3 hours they dnt do much bt simultaneously i am not complaining because they worth it plus too they are brands themselves too
ReplyDeletePoint take but it does not mean they should earn as much as R350 000 a month for 3 hours a day
ReplyDeleteYes indeed radio DJs are one of those big earners in mzansi. Whats not fair is that they earn large amount yet work less hours.
ReplyDeleteMy point exactly, their salaries should stretch as long as their working hours
ReplyDeleteyes they fairly earn,but for me adio DJ's are not so influential in anything they do.they might be high earners as you've highlighted but no they cant get people to do things.
ReplyDeletewhen working in radio you must make sure that you get the correct time slot because that is what will determine your pay at the end of the month, the likes of Dj sbu, Glen Lewis and Gareth Cliff have been in the industry for a long time and have built their own name brands.
ReplyDeleteBut that doesn`t mean their should earn high salaries as theirs
DeleteI think its about what you put in time not how much time you are given. Yes radio DJ's earn big salaries and yet their job is more relaxed but i think it is because they are using their minds more than their hands,and the personality that they portray when they are on radio. They can not be as important as Doctors but they also important and have some effect in the industry. Companies are interested in making profit which I think is also one of the factors that makes them earn a lot because they bring money in the business.
ReplyDeleteStrong words brother, at the end of the day they bring in huge revenue to ther respective station
Deleteare djs really deserving to be earning that amount of money?
ReplyDeleteno they are not earning to much tehy only earning what they deserve
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why DJs earn so much, Is it thier music they produce or mixing other peoples music, which one is more payin
ReplyDeletethey earn so much money for playing other peoples music and talking on radio for 3 hours
ReplyDeleteRadio djs earn what they deserve, though people think its more compared to their working hours.
ReplyDeleteMmmh very interesting angle you tackilng nzolo, yes indeed they are earning extremely much but it depends on the slot u have the exprience
