Stars of BBC TV and radio have been warned to expect massive paycuts of around 25% and in some cases this is as high as 40%.
The BBC has been criticised for the massive wage bill for some of its presenter talent. Deals like Jonathan Ross' one for £18miliion were signed way before the credit crunch started to reduce wages in the sector.
Some people have criticised the corporation for over paying and artificially inflating salaries in broadcasting. In particular BBC radio has been singled out for criticism in the press for the massive salaries of some of the presenters on its national radio stations. People like Moyles, Wogan, Chris Evans and Scot Mills are apparently being paid way above their counterparts in the commercial sector.
The Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson, is said to have held a meeting with presenters today outlining the fall in pay.
I'd have paid to be there to see Jeremy Clarkson's face personally.
