Looks like much more of the license fee will be going on wages. An inevitable result of publicising individuals earnings?

For instance, I cannot understand why Gary Lineker earns so much and Clare Balding earns so little. She is in every way just as talented a sports presenter, and should be recognised as such.
I listen to the Today Programme a great deal, and while I think Humphrys is the best interviewer on any news program, anywhere, Sara Montague is also extremely capable. I have also become a fan of Mishal Husain.

Zacs....I heard Humphrys on a late afternoon radio program this week, and he made the point that he had been approached another radio/tv company but he refused as he thought that the BBC was the best one to work for.
There is cachet attached to working for the Beeb that just doesn't exist for other broadcasting companies.
The BBC have brought this on itself. But the situation is just the same with other, non-publicly funded broadcasters.
Nobody can realistically expect that everybody in the Beeb should be paid the same but the disparagement between women and men is huge.

The BBC should not compete for ratings. It should be providing the entertainment that is not commercially viable it does not need to pay a DJ 1/2 million there are plenty who will do it for much less and probably be better.
As for celebrity News and readers and sports commentators I really dont get it. They read an auto cue any monkey can be trained to do that I am sure, and again there will be plenty of people willing to do it for normal salary. We dont need to pay out 1.8 million to comment on football or 400K to read the News.

Entertainment that is not commercially viable generally means niche works.
Why should it do this? Because it is a public funded broadcaster and it should not encroach on the commercial sector, in addition because it then means more walks of life are catered for. Ratings should not be driving the BBC if they must be there they should be exploring the boundaries of broadcasting rather than mainstream.
Perhaps you could now tell me why you think a publicly funded corporation should compete for ratings with commercial broadcasters?
