The BBC’s £79m pay bill for senior management is set to fall by a quarter and more than 100 positions will go by 2013 under plans approved by the broadcaster’s regulatory body.
Executive directors face an “indefinite” suspension of bonuses under the scheme, put forward after the BBC Trust ordered the executive in February to create a “clear and explicit discount” to BBC managers’ remuneration compared with commercial broadcasters. The trust approved the plan on Thursday.
