According to most reports the Beeb get somewhere around £3.7billion from the licence fee, plus another £1.7b or so from other fees.
To put that into context, that's well north of £10million per day. Are they actually worth that, considering the radio channels can't really cost much to run and many progs are repeats etc.? I suppose if they decide to give the presenters stupid amounts then you can see where it all goes.
