equal pay should be the norm, but it still isn't even at the BBC,

[grumpy01]

Don’t know about equal pay but Naga Munchetty is paid far too much for her limited ability.

[emmie]

as are many, Gary linekar for one..

[emmie]

The BBC revealed the salaries of several of its highest-paid employees in July 2017, with Lineker revealed to earn more than £1.75 million ($2m) per year.

[grumpy01]

I quite agree Emmie,Gary Lineker is paid far too much as well.

nice to know my licence fee isn't being wasted

[emmie]

a lot of staff are going to be moved out of London to set up camp elsewhere, so they will have to pay moving fees presumably. see if i can find that link.

[emmie]

The BBC is to move some of its key departments and staff outside London to make the corporation more reflective of the UK as a whole. It said its plans represent a "top-to-bottom change" and its biggest transformation in decades. Entire departments and news divisions will be moved to Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, Glasgow and Salford.

Just seen this, from Dan Walker's Twitter feed

"I know this one... No!
* ROLLING EYES EMOJI *

The BBC repeatedly told The Mail it wasn’t true.

I personally pay for any taxis outside the ones permitted to get to work at 3:45am and I drive myself 1 day a week - as I will on Tuesday.

Don’t listen to guff.
Enjoy your eggs.
Have a lovely Sunday."

[emmie]

its a wasteful institution, and should have been pared back ages ago -

[emmie]

all those who are going to relocate will want compo. Or those who won't go, will get severance pay.

[Apc2604]

A bit off the subject, but I can't stand Naga Munchetti. I feel sorry for Charlie! And yes they are paid too much. However, I believe pay should reflect ability and your worth, not whether you are a man or a woman.

[Apc2604]

I feel that the BBC now has fallen to the lowest level of television. The only thing we seem to watch these days is the News Channel!

[emmie]

full of game shows, like The Wheel, The Wall, does anyone watch those, they are pretty dire

[Zacs-Master]

Love both of them.

[Bazile]

The BBC should be made a subscription service like other broadcasters .

These sort of revelations only enforce my opinion further

[dave50]

How much is it costing to move departments to other parts of the UK, what is the point and what are they actually trying to achieve?

[Ken4155]

Emmie, think you'll find that Gary Lineker took a voluntary £400,000 pay cut last year?
And why did you include $?

[Ken4155]

Apc, then you're missing out on some great drama:-/

[ummmm]

I think the BBC is great.
