For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Several years ago, Mr Wogan was in the media because he was getting a lot of money for presenting children in need. The thing died down and he was allowed to carry on without major public outrage.
Then fast forward to a couple of years ago when the tabloids highlighted it again (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/641
7329.stm).
I seem to remember Mr Wogan said he had no idea he was being paid that much/anything for children in need in some tabloids.
As a result I stopped giving to children in need and give directly to the NSPCC. Until Mr Wogan does Children In Need for no more than a nominal fee ie a gratia payment of say £100, Children In Need and the BBC can jog on.
