I'm guessing it's some highly paid and rubbish presenters. That's why I kind of agree with salaries being publicly known 

I quite like the Beeb .....and watch quite a lot of programmes  

I channel hop a lot, and if I land on the BBC, then so be it. I haven't got an allegiance either way

I'd happily pay my TV licence for the sight of a topless Aidan Turner in Poldark alone! Long live the BBC! 

Rofl Hussy ! But I'm with you  

 I thought you might be 

I'm looking forward to topless men on SCD on Friday  

So long as Ed Balls isn't one of them!

It's all getting a bit unfortunate for the BBC and NHS.

In principle the idea that the state or ourselves own and finance them is a sound one. In effect everyone pays a cheap subscription for the BBC and receives excellent R1-6 and BBC 1-4 local radio and a few other bits n' bobs. No-one else can do it for that price.

However business people see this as a weakness, they need to see how much people would pay. There is a huge scope for added value. It's difficult for them to attack the quality so they come up with nonsense like salaries or my own favourite, "I don't watch so why should I pay?" (See also NHS! "I'm never ill so why should I pay!) Murdoch hates our British way of life!

Agree GJ

One reason why I go out of my way not to put any money in his or his organization's pockets.

 

I also think it's one reason why we lost BBC Three from out TV's and F1. I'm sure the BBC could have worked to keep the two of them without the external pressures.
