BBC Studios on Tuesday also published its annual pay gap report, “with details of pay gaps for gender, ethnicity, disability and LGBTQ+ employees broken down by career level band, as well as global analysis for the first time.” The majority of career level bands show median pay gaps of within plus/minus 5 percent, “while the overall median gender pay gap is now below 10 percent,” the company said.
Said Fussell: “We’re amongst the most transparent in the media sector for pay gap disclosures, with breakdowns for gender, disability, ethnicity and LGBTQ+ across all levels of the business, as well as new data this year for our global staff. While there is much to be proud of as our gender pay gap continues to fall, inevitably these figures paint a picture of a work-in-progress, especially where we are investing in the talent of the future.
UKTV also had a record year, with EBITDA jumping 105 percent as the advertising market bounced back to boost revenue and audience share increased to hit “record levels,” the company said.
