Gerard Henderson and his ever-helpful Media Watch Dog have a suggestion for ABC tweeter-in-chief Mark Scott, whose salary of $800,000 per year has seen no such reduction:

Perhaps Nice Mr Scott might adopt the ABC’s familiar practice and fill  [Lateline’s empty] space with Stephen Fry from London. It might be called “Waking Up with Mr Fry at 10.30 pm” or “Stephen Fryline” or some such. This should rate well in Newtown in Sydney and Thornbury in Melbourne.
