Talking heads on TV are not paid except maybe in the UK if they ask the television producers nicely.
I think I’ve cracked the code on S@m H@selby’s weird obsession with historians who have appeared on MSNBC. He actually thinks we’re getting *paid* when we pop up there, and paid handsomely. And … hoo boy, no.

For the record, the few times I’ve agreed to appear on MSNBC shows it’s been to promote a book (guilty!) or discuss current events where I was asked to provide historical context. I was never once paid, though I did get car fare a couple times.

Former BBC producer here - you definitely have to ask. Rate 15 years ago was roughly £40 for typical contributor but higher for well known people (and depending on urgency!) Tory cuts may have had an impact since then but worth asking.
