£470K-a-year Huw Edwards says he’s quitting and hits out at BBC colleagues getting undeserved pay rises.

If you plan to buy either car or home insurance I wonder if you might look at my small price comparison site A Spokesman Said as we earn a little commission from each sale which helps fund the research and editorial costs of running the site. It has the same offer as the big ones like Go Compare. Thank you.

In a frank interview which he would have spent a lot of time thinking about (not least because it was in Welsh), Huw Edwards has made it clear his two decades of reading the 10pm BBC news is coming to an end.

He says there are a couple of reasons for him going. 1) It’s time the viewers had a change. 2) He’s coming up to 60.  

He does not refer to a third potential reason; that he has been at the BBC since 1984 and therefore a gilded 37-year pension will be a nice little earner among the skint of Carmarthen.

But in his interview with Radio Cymru he does express his annoyance at having his salary disclosed.

He earns around £470,000 for a four-night week. In the interview he says; ”It has angered me to be honest.

“Not because I am embarrassed about pay, especially because I took my pay cut years ago.

“But if you do get a pay cut it’s certainly going to affect you, your psychology and your attitude towards the work. Especially if you see co-workers getting large pay rises and you don’t quite understand why.”

Good point Huw. Imagine you are referring to Emily Matliss. Couldn’t agree more.

PS: So just to mention again but if you plan to buy either car or home insurance I wonder if you might look at my small price comparison site A Spokesman Said as we earn a little commission from each sale which helps fund the research and editorial costs of running the site.
