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

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, ok Hans. Completely understand. Completely. No worries.

[HansUrbancka]

Cheers Zac......Hans.

Oh how the prescient were howled down when they commented on the hiring of legions of nubile eye candy, with little presentation skill and even less vocabulary. Chickens home to roost anyone. Just lower the wages of all the chauvinists to fall in line with the "wimmen". Maybe some of them will even resign. Maybe Mother Theresa may be able to get in a a sly dig or two. What goes around comes around. Careful what you wish for.

There are of course lower paid workers within the BBC, there are in every organisation.

I believe some runners and lower Production Assistants earn around £20K pa, I don't know their contract terms /hours etc.


I've known some who worked there - Camera Crew,Sound Engineers and someone in the Music department, they were all highly paid and settled working where they did.

Did anyone spot Clare(moonface) Baldings salary? Must be squillions, she is never off the airwaves. Or is that classified? Or is "she" regarded as non classified? (^_*)

[Mamyalynne]

Claire Balding - salary (£150,000-199,000) .

[tonyav]

It would be interesting to know if our present Ed is being paid as much as the 'Fisherman' was hooking-in.

Hans.

[Mamyalynne]

Curiously, it wouldn't interest me at all.

[tonyav]

I wanna know how much the mods earn ;-)

[Togo]

Balding on £200k per annum . Minimum wage then in hourly terms? :))

[Mamyalynne]

Balding are you Togo?, it suits most men.

[Togo]

Only slightly Mamy, greying somewhat. Are you growing a tash? Suits only some women unfortunately. (&_*)

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not but ta for asking.

[DTCwordfan]

yep, and rightly so, never mind all the Beeb so-called talent being pinched by others.

How does that awful Vanessa Feltz command her income from them?

[DTCwordfan]

Balders-ing (Balders relative?) I would say is underpaid, though she has her gee-gee racing and other broadcasting rights as extra.... Nope, there are some, of either sex, that are paid way too much.

I doubt that the BBC have a set pay scale for these 'stars' or 'talent' as the Beeb likes to call them. The higher paid probably have agents better skilled at negotiating payments for their clients than the lower paid, therefore differentials between the sexes is down to their individual advisors.
Furthermore, a lot of payments from the Beeb were not disclosed as they are made either from BBC Worldwide, which apparently doesn't come from the licence fee, or are paid direct to production companies, who pay the presenters and staff under separate (non BBC) contracts.
