How much do radio djs earn weekly?

[::Art::]

Well I'm thinking of being a radio dj when I grow up. Oh and if any1 knows how much a personal trainer would get please let me know thanks.

Incredibly varying, it depends very much on how many slots you would do and at what times they are.

I imagine some late nights one's on local radio stations are something between 20k-30k a year. When it comes to national radio though it can be millions.

Pretty much all the BBC DJs are millionaires as far as I know.

Thanks for that. I was looking to be a dj at a local radio station or make my own 1. I'm sure the local ones would make a good bit

I doubt they make their 'millions' just from the radio. Obviously national radio DJ's earn a lot more like Radio 1, but i'd be surprised if it exceeded a Million because most of them only work a bit, but then they earn extra stuff because people want them to play DJ sets in clubs, events etc.

it depends on what type of station it is. radio stations in general are struggling, and the industry is fast changing. im not sure how old you are, but by the time you are able to get a job in the field there's likely not going to be local radio anymore. it's all going to be satellite channels, probably.

local radio in the UK is in no danger of being killed off due to the BBC. There are so many in london, and the BBC has one in every town/county in the UK. Plus the for-profit advert-sponsored local radio. Infact, the only countrywide FM radio station that isn't BBC is Classic FM. And AM has only a few like TALKSport and Virgin (Maybe a couple of others). On DAB there are still barely many national ones, mostly all bbc.

im not saying the bbc is going to kill it, im saying saying new technology will, the same way the internet is killing local newspapers. there may still be "local radio" in a sense that reports on local happenings, but theyre going to be universally available, so in essence not really local. if that makes sense lol. im just saying the industry is going to look very different in give or take 10 years. i expect the role of the dj will change significantly as well.

If you want a job on a famous station it is very difficult to get a job as a DJ, on local stations its easier although you make alot less m00nies
