BBC Director of Radio & Education and would-be-DG James Purnell, seeking to demonstrate some of the acute financial skills acquired in his brief time as Work & Pensions Secretary, must by now have taken some difficult talent decisions.
Radio 2 Breakfast host Chris Evans earned at least £2.2m last year. His latest audience figures show a weekly reach of 9.35m listeners. Radio 2 mid-morning host Ken Bruce earned at least £250k last year. His latest audience figures show a weekly reach of 8.77m. OK, the Evans dosh was inflated by silly money for six episodes of Top Gear, but that's gone. Ken must earn some of his money for Friday Night is Music Night, but you wouldn't expect that to make a big difference.
Evans is on around nine times more money than Bruce. What will the differential look like for this financial year ?
