Hardest-working woman

The unleaked bits of the BBC Annual Report will come around 1100am; until then, we'll just have to chew over what we have.

Last year, Vanessa Feltz was 15= in the chart of top salaries (paid via the BBC, not BBC Studios). This year, we're told, she's in the top ten. That could have been achieved by people ahead of her dropping out, without much increase in her wedge, of between £330k and £339k.

One of the puzzles is how this adds up. Say the rate for an off-peak Radio 2 show was £170k (Vanessa's show runs daily from 0500 to 0630). That means her Radio London show, running from 0700 to 1000 brings in £160k. Anybody know any other BBC local radio presenters on that sort of deal ?
