I don't think that revealing those will do anyone any good, as the money earned by them is unlikely to change (unless it'll be even more) and people will just get upset.
And God knows why Hugh Edwards gets over £500K for reading an autocue.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I think the BBC is a complete waste of money. But how many more people are we going to hear suddenly mouthing off as if they are experts on how to run a TV service?
Diversity? Hmm, yes you can make of those figures what you like. And yes there is a pay gap - just like there is pay gap elsewhere. Is it deliberate? Maybe - but all that publishing these is going to do is make the BBC *more* expensive....
Y'see, if I were looking to poach good, top people from the BBC to build by commercial TV channel, all I'd need do is look up their salary and offer more to their agent. The BBC can't afford a talent drain, but equally they can't afford to spend more money. Those from background "x" are going to make a song and dance about being paid less because of their sex/ethinic background/number of limbs and its just going to cause salaries to rise. As Lord Grade has said, these high sums won't come down, its just everything else will go up.
Its the daftest thing I've ever seen - and frankly, its a little invasive. Would you like to have your salary made public? You may think its fine but think about the effect it may have on your working relationships with others in your company - or elsewhere. Money can be highly emotive, and can cause resentment. See some of the above postings about resenting paying person 'x' this when you could spend 'y' on 'z'. It can get quite nasty, without you even meaning it to.
That won't end well.
I get why Chris Evans is worth it .. he added millions of viewers to the radio.

Its yet another reason for people to get outraged, probably cos they have nothing better to do
Something that I find hard to stomach, is that some of these journalists have been representing or even driving the politics of envy against other industries - whilst earning similar salaries for doing less.
Hypocrisy
I'm not saying there aren't gender pay issues here, all I am saying is you can't draw that conclusion based purely on the fact that Man A gets £xxxxxx and Woman A gets £yyyyyy.
