BBC spending: click image for graphicWhat does the BBC spend on its key channels? We have the latest figures from the latest annual report.
The report shows that BBC overheads rose by about £15m in its last financial year because of spending on the controversial relocation of several thousand staff from London to Salford and the redevelopment of Broadcasting House.
The media focus is on the costs of the big talent stars, and that data is in the report too:
• The BBC's overall talent costs dropped by £9m to £213m in the year to the end of March
• In 2010-11, 274 people earned over £100,000, compared with 270 last year
• 19 stars earned between £500,000 and £5m – down from 21 in 2009-10But the key data in the report shows how much gets spent on each of the Beeb's TV and radio stations - and which is up and which is down.
