Number of staff (on any day there are 40,000 people working for The Beeb)


That's absolutely incorrect - the total staff, including freelancers, is just over 20,000. And they don't all work on the same day. Oh no! I'm on my hols next week, so that's 19,999 working - and me posting plenty here and bugging you lot :-p


Oh my word...are you sure the BBC will be able to manage without for a whole week. The week before the News 24 relaunch-athon? Although of course...we wouldn't turn down your increased contributions to the forum for a week. I certainly always value your input.

Well I was told 30,000 staff plus around 10,000 freelancers.

That total includes all TV/Radio/Online/World emplyees AFAIK...

That's definately the figure that I heard quoted during The Big Conversation


Didn't see it - am in the NUJ !!!

World employees would skew the figure somewhat, but core BBC staffing I'm 100% sure is 20,000 - give or take a few thou

As much as I value your "witty" banter Wink

Mind you - I'll admit I've heard very little about the N24 relaunch ....

Look through the dialogue, I never started anything, I merely asked a valid question and was met with two hostile replies to which answered appropriately and removed the sig in question.

I do not have the problem here sir.

I'm sorry but regardless about what you say, you ruined a perfectly good thread with irrelevant comments about a signature.


Oh no ... Did I? Whoops.

You boycotted for those 2 blokes who wasted licence fee payers money by taking the BBC to court over ten times where each time they were found to have not been dismissed unfairly?

God - you missed out dude. Hope you're happy Laughing

Well, I still seem to be seeing it in the first and third posts of this thread, Mr Spewdonthefloor.
