BBC: Former BBC news presenter Huw Edwards, who resigned from the BBC on medical advice in April, saw his salary increase by £40,000 last year.
Edwards remained on the payroll while suspended, which is normal BBC policy.
In the last financial year his salary was between £475,000 - £479,999, the BBC's latest annual report shows. He received between £435,000 and £439,999 in the year 2022/2023.
Edwards left the BBC after being named last year as the presenter at the centre of days of allegations and speculation. He had been off-air since July 2023. » | Emma Saunders, Culture reporter | Tuesday, July 23, 2024
