Lifting the roof

"There are currently 45 grade 11 employees on more than £100,000 per annum".

The BBC would like you to know that “Salary bands are internal guidelines and while the BBC salaries are generally lower than at commercial competitors there will always be occasions where we need people with specific skills that we have to pay for. These individuals enable the BBC to deliver high quality content for audiences but they are not senior managers who lead within the BBC.”

The roof of Grade 11 is just under £74k in London. By triangulation, I estimate that 370 members of staff are paid between £74k and £100k.
