(this may well belong in the TELEVISION section)
As we listen to the news each day and hear about another 500 jobs lost here, and 400 there, I am wondering if these TV companies are exempt from redundancies?
Has anybody heard about any lay-offs at the Beeb, ITV or Sky that AREN'T average paid researchers or admin people?
What I'm hinting at is the presenters themselves - and the thing that has been bugging me for ages - why do we need 2 people to read out the news? When did this start exactly? Its hardly the most strenuous job in the world now is it? Yet these people are all on huge wages so they can spend half the bulletin looking at their fellow presenter and nodding !! Sky Sports News is the worst imho.
