BBC Salaries in 2007
Since then he has taken a 20% pay cut along with a few other high profile BBC members of staff.
From what I understand cutting BBC 6 music will save in the region of £6m-£7m(i presume annually). So not sure where you get the comparision from but it seems a bit off. Jonathon Ross earned £18m, although he is leaving so there will be a big saving there. Graham Norton gets a big salary, maybe BBC should chop him.
BBC 6 music gets 695,000 listeners a week
Radio 1, over 10 million. Chris Moyles alone gets 7,7m.
Radio 2, 13m
Radio 3, 1,874,000
Radio 4, 9m
Radio 5, 6m
1xtra, 531,000

At the end of the day if it isn't getting a large enough audience then it isn't what the majority are after and if cuts need to be made then somethings have to suffer. Is 1xtra for the chop as well?
It's still at the consultation stage so if you make your views known to the BBC board they will take them into consideration.
