The disparity in pay between high profile BBC staff and producers working on the same show is a 'shocker', the former editor of Radio 4's Today programme has revealed. Announcing her decision to leave, Ms Sands said on Twitter: 'I have decided to move on from being Editor of the Today programme and propose to leave the BBC in September. I loved Radio 4 as a listener, I loved it even more as a member of the team. I am so proud of what we have achieved, championing intelligent broadcasting and political independence, under constant pressure. 'I have witnessed not only extraordinary professionalism and quick-witted determination here but also a heart-warming consideration towards one another.'
