Just 11% of top talent from diverse background.
Just one-tenth of the BBC’s top on-screen talent is from a black, ethnic, minority background (Bame), the corporation’s Annual Report has revealed (reports Broadcast).
Bame stars make up 11% of the corporation’s top earners, with the likes of BBC Radio DJ Trevor Nelson and newsreader George Alagiah among the highest paid, with salaries of between £250,000 and £300,000.
Radio 4 Today programme presenter Mishal Husain earns between £200,000 and £250,000, less than half than her colleague John Humphrys’ £600,000-£650,000 salary.
Across the BBC, some 14% of its workforce is from a Bame background, in line with the national average.
Bame stars’ salaries pale in comparison with some of the corporation’s biggest earners, which include Radio 2 presenter and former Top Gear host Chris Evans, who topped the payroll with a salary of around £2.2m.

Nick Robinson has announced he is leaving his job as the BBC's political editor after ten years.
The journalist will be staying within the corporation though, as he moves to a presenting role replacing James Naughtie on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the BBC reports.
Robinson has described it as an "honour" to step into Naughtie's shoes and said he is looking forward to hearing other people's political analysis.
He said: "I cannot remember a time when my morning did not begin with Today - the programme - setting the nation's agenda.
"As a child it was the sound not just of the latest news and the sharpest comment but also of my best friend's dad, Brian Redhead, who inspired my love of radio.
"I'm delighted that all these years later I am being given the chance to sit in what was his chair."

It's been a long Election Night.
From a BBC political editor soldiering on in spite of illness to a political stalwart whose hat became the butt of many a joke, it was quite a surreal evening on all accounts. As always, we at Digital Spy are here to curate everything through the weirdness that was Election Night.
1. Liberal Democrat stalwart Paddy Ashdown and his hat
Forget about Nick Clegg, clearly the Liberal Democrats' loser of the night was party chair Paddy Ashdown. Paddy offered the following gem when presented with disappointing exit poll figures: "If that exit poll is right, I'll eat my hat." Oh Paddy, don't tempt Twitter....

BBC News political editor Nick Robinson apologized last week for originally identifying the London stabbing as having a "Muslim appearance" based on quotes given to him by law enforcement. Appearing on the News at Six the day of the Woolwich attack, Robinson explained that his law enforcement sources told him the perpetrator was of "Muslim appearance" and had reportedly been shouting "Allahu Akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great."...

London -- Top BBC news presenters have urged broadcast unions not to strike during the Conservative Party conference next week, warning that it could damage the BBC's reputation for political independence.
The planned 48-hour strike had been targeted to impose a blackout on key political speeches at the conference, after government pressure to cut pension payouts at the BBC.
Prime Minister David Cameron's speech is thought to be a target.
But now top anchors including "Newsnight" presenters Jeremy Paxman, Emily Maitlis and Martha Kearney, political editor Nick Robinson, "Today" presenter Jim Naughtie and "Six O'Clock News" anchor Huw Edwards have written to the National Union of Journalists warning against the move, which they say "risks looking unduly partisan, especially when none of the other [political] party conferences have been targeted."
The letter said there were "serious concerns" about the implications of such a political act.

Thanks to having a remarkably packed schedule for Monday, I'm writing this on Sunday night, so, you know, if anything really important or notable happens sometime Monday just assume I mentioned it because I'm totally up to date with the news and happenings and not just a pop culture junkie who ignores most items of significance unless they threaten to bump my shows or become trending topics on Twitter. But seriously, I found the more I paid attention to the news coverage the more I had the tendency to get angry and corner poor, helpless people at parties ranting about either what was on the news or the way it was covered so really, it's best for everyone involved if I just keep to my little sphere of all the television I'm peripherally aware of but don't watch and the parts of the internet involving drunk text messages and cute animals doing funny things.

David Mitchell has criticised the BBC over its decision to block its newsreaders from appearing on the star's new comedy quizshow. The series, titled The Bubble, contains real and fake news clips which celebrity contestants are asked to distinguish. The BBC decided that it will not endorse its reporters, such as Nick Robinson who featured in the pilot, to such a show - despite Fiona Bruce appearing in a fake news clip on EastEnders Live: The Aftermath last Friday. After using the news story as part of Friday's edition, the Peep Show actor said wryly: "Big round of applause for those guys. Apparently it would undermine BBC News because if they turned on, saw something ridiculous with The Bubble in the corner, they'd think it was a BBC News story." He added: "We've (more)...
