Match of the Day host Gary tops the list after Chris Evans had more than £500,000 wiped from his pay.
Claudia Winkleman is 13th in the list, earning £1.3million less than the top earner, while Vanessa Feltz is in 16th overall.
Last year Claudia ranked joint eighth along with Matt Baker, but has dropped five spots.
More than 30 names, including actors from EastEnders and the Strictly Come Dancing panel, have had some of their pay hidden through the Beeb's commercial arm BBC Studios.
The BBC insists their figures are better than last year in terms of the gender pay gap.
The split between men and women is now 60:40 rather than 75:25 from last year in terms of on-air talent earning over the £150,000 cut-off.
But BBC presenter Mishal Husain said the list showed "how far the BBC still has to go in valuing women and men equally for their work."
