If my understanding is correct, take their anticipated (or most recent) JNLRs, whichever is the lower, and multiply by 1 euro; then scale it up or down based on the financial health of the station relative to the norm (probably downards) as a guesstimate.

So lets say Nova is performing at 20% below average in terms of advertising revenue. Lets say the show generates 75,000 listeners in the JNLRs

Then the salary expressed in euro should be 0.8 x (75,000 x 1) = 60k

That should be per person, and it sounds about right to me.

Radio Nova
The Colm & Lucy Breakfast Show
25th January 2019
1. Programme
The Breakfast Show is a mix of music and light banter between the presenters. This programme is broadcast each weekday from 6 to 10am.
2. Complaint Category
Broadcasting Act 2009 - Section 48(1)(b) (harm & offence); the BAI Code of Programme Standards - Principle 3.
3. Complaint Summary
The complainant states that during a chat between two presenters, one presenter, who was standing in for one of the regular presenters, relayed a story about an incident in a play area involving her child and another child. The co-presenter stated that she grabbed and kicked one of the children. The complainant found this story contained harmful references and was unhappy that this story was aired.
4. Broadcaster Responses
The broadcaster states that the show is quite edgy and ‘tongue in cheek’ and states that the item in question was delivered in this manner. The actions referred to were of an exaggerated nature with the emphasis on entertainment rather than a real-life event. The broadcaster apologised for offending the complainant and stated that the content of the breakfast show is usually entertainment and should not be interpreted as serious.
5. Executive Complaints Forum
Reject (Unanimous)
Having considered the broadcast and the submissions from the complainant and the broadcaster and having also had regard to the relevant legislation and Code, the Forum decided to reject the complaint. The Forum's views and reasons for the decision are set out below.
The Forum noted the complaint was submitted under Principle 3 of the Code of Programme Standards. The Code requires broadcasters to take due care to ensure that audiences are not exposed to harmful content and must provide adequate information to audiences to allow them to make informed choices about what they listen to and watch. The Code acknowledges that, in enriching people’s lives through entertainment, information and other programming, broadcasters must be free to make programmes that may be provocative or deal with sensitive issues.
35
The Forum had regard to the concerns of the complainant in respect of comments made by one of the presenters during a discussion about children’s play centres. The Forum found it likely that some listeners may have found the comments offensive and, in this context, considered that the broadcaster could have exercised more care. However, the Forum noted that the comments were made in a light-hearted manner during a casual conversation between presenters, which is in keeping with the tone of the programme. In considering the type of programme and the channel, the Forum decided that audiences would likely expect this type of interaction and conversation between presenters. The Forum concluded that the comments, particularly in the context of the overall interaction, could not reasonably be considered as causing harm or encouraging people to imitate acts which are damaging to their health and safety.
The Forum was of the view that the content of this programme was such that it did not infringe the requirements of the Code of Programme Standards. On this basis, the complaint was rejected.
