I agree with that. I can see why certain presenters are paid more than others because a good many of them do other shows as well. I believe Dan Walker is one such who gets paid more than his female co-presenter on morning TV but also does sports related programming which I believe she doesn't. If that's the case then comparing their salaries and implying it's sex discrimination is entirely bogus.
I don't think anyone can argue that all BBC presenters are equal and that they should be paid the same hourly rate.
