The Sunday Times says the BBC Trust and Executive have agreed a formula for "measuring the value of specific talent”.
A combination of special audience surveys, ratings, audience appreciation indexes, plus how stand-ins measure up, and some view of commercial pay rates (it says) will be applied to regular performers - apparently Kate Silverton and Fearne Cotton are up first.
I hope some of this is wrong. If not, they'll soon have to apply "formulas" to programmes, which will mean the end of Radio 3, much of BBC4, all local radio after 6pm etc. Maybe when they apply "formulas" to executive and Trustees pay, they'll come to their senses.
