I do not assert that the contract would be necessarily exclusive, only conjecture that stars of Graham's earning capacity would need to be motivated by more than financial gain for appearing on Just A Minute - which is notoriously poorly paid.

My source was the Radio 4 Today programme 2-3 weeks ago. I'm sorry i can't be any more specific than that, though I do believe it was on the same day, coincidentally I'm sure, that a report was released, or some call made, for the BBC to publish all their top stars salaries, them being paid by the public, after all.

The term " 'defection' back to channel 4" was actually a quote from one of the newsreaders that morning and thinking about it, possibly, this may have been in the section when they review the day's newspapers and that they were simply reporting the same article that you read in The Sun. I haven't heard it mentioned again since, but I've been relatively out of touch with the media of late.

Unless things have moved on (and they may well have) then there's nothing in that to indicate that he won't be able to do any more BBC shows. If he signs and exlusive contract for Channel 4 then that would exclude him from the BBC but AFAIK that's not the current position.
