AIBU to think BBC salaries should not be secret?

[tuckchop]

They are all paid out of compulsory TV license fee. And the enormous salaries should be made public

I say this as an admirer of the BBC for many years

BBC salaries are published.

I was gonna say, I thought they were published?

Look here.

Well you could argue the same for council workers.

And yes, BBC salaries are published.

Depends. Are other public service salaries published?

If they are, then i see nothing wrong with publishing the pay scales at the BBC too as its a similar institution.

I'd far rather ALL NHS salaries were published...

Public sector pay scales are published too.

I'm not looking up anything else for the OP, yesterday she has us running round in circles because she's a writer, apparently, one with a broken google!

Individual salaries are not published....Especially presenters.

The press knew that J Ross was on a 7 million quid contract. Transparency
please

It is widely rumoured that some part time presenters are on 4 grand a week.

Whats a nurse on 28 grand? (Published in NHS adverts) I mean 28 grand a year

BBC salariesfor presenters are paid out of our money. HMG set the BBC money.
And did the Mail say presenters were on a tax dodge. (Like Jimmy Carr)

Lets have a retired BBC presenter on under a screen name to tell us the score.

Come on you can do it

At what level do you stop publicising salaries?
Because if people found out how LITTLE many voices on radio were paid they would be REALLY shocked....

All national presenters are thought to be paid a fortune.

Local radio is different.

Of course TV presenters are paid much more than radio. Wogan was said to be on 700 grand a year on Radio 2

What would you do with the information?

I think what one earns is private personally.

All public sector pay should be made available to the public, including expenses.

dh is a (soon to leaving) senior IT engineer, his salary was relatively low compared to other London IT jobs.

Doctors salaries are published JUDGES too. MPs and Ministers

It is the BBC presenter radio and tv who are the exception

Do you know what the fee to contestants on Radio 4 quiz shows like the News Quiz is ?

I was shocked when I found out - bearing in mind they are all well known names .....

£60 - yup, sixty pounds.

Toksvig gets more but not much.

I'm not really interested TBH. Mmarket forces dictate what people are paid.

BBC can pay X million to X Celeb if they so wish. If they dont, X celeb will go to Sky or ITC.

slaps self for engaging after yesterdays round of the bizarre

I used to work for the BBC and certainly wouldn't call my £9,000 starting salary enormous.

Peace I am talking about contracted Presenters the NEWS QUIZ is a sort of game

£60 for 2 hours work so-called. Who in the reall world gets 30 quid an hour?

Bignames would do the News quiz for nowt. Its a blast. You have to take a few insults; but its not a job

Bombus. I am talking about contracted presenters ON thousands of pounds a week. Have a care

Well, it's industry standard pay!
