I am suggesting hiring good competent people on more than decent salaries not just shoving a load of kids before the camera.Just because they're a public broadcaster it doesn't mean they aren't impacted by the market forces of the industry they're in. Who get's paid what is an arbitrary concept; i doubt any of us feel it's right that a radio presenter gets paid a salary ten times that of a nurse. But for better or worse, that's how the markets work. The BBC 'top brass' want to be seen as a relevant player and to do that they need to hire 'talent'. To hire big names, you have to compete, otherwise we'd be left with a national broadcaster that's hiring untried 'kids' or second rate nobodies. That would cheapen the product and ultimately see that kudos and responsibility disappear over time.
I honestly do not think the BBC will lose its WORLDWIDE status or go to pot if Lineker or blinkin Zoe Ball feel 500k is beneath them .
