A Real Eye-Opener
The BBC is considering to request that over-75s volunteer to pay for their TV licences to 'preserve the viability of the corporation'. It is interesting to see the published salaries of current staff

The license fee should not pay for the World Service.
It used to be paid for by the Foreign Office until 2011, when the burden was again shifted to the lense fee payer. Absolute disgrace, and again, not something the BBC can opt out of.
If the Government do not want to pay for a World Service they should scrap it. If they do, they should fund it not make tv viewers in the UK subsidise it.

Surely the World Service is part of the same thing, it is the window for folk to view our country and our views. It is about presenting our country to all and is why we have a state funded corporation in the first place. It is the licence fee method of raising the readies that is a dodgy system. Those who watch TV pay whilst those who do not still get the benefits of us presenting the country's public face.
I think the Civil Service and government decide what our image should be. For sure the BBC are given a fair bit of freedom but nothing stopping those in power closing it all down if the whole thing becomes detrimental. And of course these folk are making these decisions on your behalf so ultimately it must be your view of how we and our views should be presented.

I am not saying that these BBC executives are worth it. But the salaries are industry standards.
// The BSkyB chief executive, Jeremy Darroch, received more than £7m in total remuneration and share award payout last year, including a maximum bonus of almost £1.9m.
Darroch's total remuneration, which includes salary, bonus, pension and benefits for the year to the end of June rose 7% year on year to £2.98m. //
