True. But it does have to live and survive in the commercial world of broadcasting.
It already pays lower rates than the commercial sector. You want it to lower it's other benefits too?
"Come and work for the BBC. We don't pay as much as your Final Salary Pension (and other benefits) won't be as high, but we do have a nice Cafe. Oh, yes, but it's in Manchester!"
Sorry. Not good enough! I want my BBC to be staffed by professionals who know what they're doing, not everyone who can't get a job elsewhere.

But I have given you
actual figures of what other
public sector bosses, etc., are getting (as well as that other "publically-funded" UK broadcaster, Channel 4). IIRC I have only mentioned one 'private company' and they gave their boss £7m when she resigned after breaking the law!!

I wish you would stop the comparisons as there aren't any ,the BBC is unique and has no viable comparator in the media industry

Exactly. Works both ways though. And, as I said, it has to survive using workers from that same media industry.
