A little knowledge...

I suspect they rubbed along ok when together in the ineffably-named department of Knowledge at the BBC
- but did George Entwistle know how much Emma Swain was paid; and who will set her next salary ?

Controller BBC Vision, George Entwistle, has announced that Emma Swain, who was "Head of Knowledge" when George was "Controller of Knowledge"; and who has been Acting "Controller of Knowledge" since February, when George moved up, is now confirmed in the post.   In August 2010, George's salary as Controller was £189k - whilst his Number 2, Emma was on £217k.

George is now the 'half-price' Controller of BBC Vision - at a mere £270k, compared with Jana Bennett's peak of £536k.  No need of much of a rise for Emma then - except, of course, that her role as "Head of Knowledge" will not be replaced.  How will she cope ?
