Some of you may recall my blog a few weeks ago - with me ranting on about the BBC and how it doesn't really fit into todays digital media world - as well as the sheer amount that it spends on technology and "talent" click here for a recap!
Anyway today saw the report from the BBC Trust (the organisation that is set up to ensure that our money is being used wisely!!) Headed by Sir Michael Lyons - the report today although may say that the BBC gives "value for money" it does recommend that "a more consistent approach and some improvement to processes could ensure improved value overall for licence fee payers." Seems like a bit of the tail wagging the dog to me.
So you can't say that the BBC overpays it's staff - but "The BBC must find ways to demonstrate its efforts to achieve the best deals more openly to the public in order to generate greater confidence amongst licence fee payers that value for money is being achieved."
Anyway - watch Sir Michael trying to get around the ridiculous salaries discussion here... or download and read the full report here..
The fight goes on...
