Now

so what? Sky is a private company, they can pay their staff anything they like. i don't see a problem.

COnsidering the amount of ads i'm forced to endure as an American on all of the BBC's services, i don't see how they can complain about "commercial" tv channels. BBC is also commercial, to everyone outside of the UK at least.

I have no sympathy for the BBC. It ain't free for ME!

It isn't free for us either, we have the damned TV licence...
I don't want to pay for sky so I can't really moan if I don't get to see the comedy and drama they produce. Actors have to make a living too, if they are better paid at sky then they will work for them I guess...

I've literally had to watch 45 second ads to watch a 1:30 minute video on the BBC News website, they are shameless, so i don't see how they can complain.
