BBC presenters reveal 'constant anxiety' caused by pay arrangements
A BBC presenter has told MPs she tried to kill herself because of stress over the controversial arrangements under which she was employed. The announcement came a day before DJ Liz Kershaw, radio presenter Kirsty Lang and financial journalist Paul Lewis were due to give evidence to an inquiry by the House of Commons culture committee into the use of PSCs. Before Tuesday's hearing, the committee released a dossier of evidence from presenters who claim the BBC put pressure on them to be employed via a PSC, rather than as a member of staff, only for them to find themselves targeted by an HMRC clampdown on the arrangement. - www.theguardian.com

My TV's audio isn't great
Of course, everybody calls everything a soundbar nowadays, but you'd probably have been happier with a soundbar instead of a soundbase. At the time of writing, the Best Seller in Amazon's soundbar category was Majority's Snowdon Soundbar with Built-In Subwoofer, apparently reduced from 119.95 to 45.95. - www.theguardian.comwww.theguardian.comThursday 08 March 2018, AM
