Six of the BBC's leading male presenters have agreed to take pay cuts after revelations over equal salaries.
The BBC said Huw Edwards, Nicky Campbell, John Humphrys, Jon Sopel, Nick Robinson and Jeremy Vine had all accepted reduced wages.
The move follows Carrie Gracie's resignation as BBC China editor in protest at unequal pay between male and female international editors.
Vine said: "It needs to be sorted out and I support my female colleagues."
The Radio 2 and Eggheads presenter was the best-paid of the group, earning between £700,000-£749,999 in 2016/17. The new salaries haven't been revealed.
Of the six, Jon Sopel, the BBC's North America editor, earned the least, in the £200,000-£249,999 bracket - compared to Carrie Gracie's £135,000-a-year salary.
The BBC revealed the pay of on-air talent earning over £150,000 in July, with two-thirds of stars on the list being men.
A BBC statement said: "We are very grateful to Huw Edwards, Nicky Campbell, John Humphrys, Jon Sopel, Nick Robinson and Jeremy Vine, who have agreed that their pay will now be reduced.
"These are great journalists and presenters, who have a real connection with the audience. We are proud to have them working at the BBC.
"The final details of some of these changes are still being discussed, and there are further conversations that the BBC will have with others in due course."
John Humphrys, who presents Radio 4's Today programme and Mastermind, said it was his decision to earn less.
"It's the third [pay cut] and they have been volunteered in each case," he said, explaining that things were very different from the years when presenters were "having money pretty much thrust upon us".
"There was no shortage of cash," he said. "There is a shortage of cash. And it seems to me, and I thought this before the salary disclosures last year, but the salary disclosures reinforced the idea that some of us were earning much more than others."
On his way into work at Radio 2 on Friday, Jeremy Vine was asked by reporters why he had agreed to a lower wage.
"I think it needs to be sorted out and I support my female colleagues who have rightly said they should be paid the same when they're doing the same job," he said.
"It's just a no-brainer, so it wasn't a problem for me to accept one [a pay cut]."
An independent audit into equal pay at the BBC will be published next week.
When the list of the best-paid BBC presenters that was published last summer, Chris Evans was at the top, earning between £2.2m and £2.25m in 2016/2017.
The highest-paid woman, Claudia Winkleman, earned significantly less - between £450,000 and £500,000.
BBC media editor Amol Rajan said while competition in the entertainment industry had intensified, the opposite had happened in news.
"Many of those now taking pay cuts secured generous deals years ago," he said.
"That world has disappeared - and these presenters now accept that a chunk of their salaries will have to disappear with it."
After leaving her post as China editor, Gracie is now returning to the BBC newsroom in London, saying she expects to be "paid equally".
She is due to appear before a select committee of MPs next week, shortly before director general of the BBC Tony Hall, his deputy Anne Bulford and director of news and current affairs Fran Unsworth.
They were called to discuss what action the corporation is taking to address the gender pay gap.
There have been three investigations into gender pay at the BBC: ◾A report was published in October, in line with a requirement on all large organisations. It found the gender pay gap at the BBC was 9.3%, against a national average of 18.1% ◾A judge-led audit of equal pay among rank-and-file staff published at the same time found there was "no question of any systemic gender discrimination" ◾A review into the BBC's approach to the pay of on-air presenters, editors and correspondents is due to be published next week
Lord Hall pledged to close the gap by 2020, saying the corporation should be "an exemplar of what can be achieved when it comes to pay, fairness, gender and representation".
