The average wage of a Premier League footballer is just over £60,000 a
week, which equates to more than 3 million a year. Premier League
footballers are the highest paid; lower divisions receive much less.
Championship wages are just over £4,000 a week, which is around £200,000
a year. This is an excellent example of how quickly wages can drop below the
Premier League, even though they’re still generous.
Players in the bottom division are paid considerably worse than Premier
League and even Championship players, earning around £750 per week,
which isn’t much higher than the national average.

To host the flagship footie program on the BBC that concentrates solely on the top division, they wouldn't go and get someone who'd flitted between league 1 and 2 his whole career, so wages across the footie pyramid aren't really relevant.
