Men still dominate jobs that pay most at BBC

A list of top earners at the BBC released Wednesday shows that men still dominate the highest-paid jobs despite pledges to grant women equal pay.

The BBC’S top earner is soccer presenter Gary Lineker, who took home between 1.75 million pounds ($2.32 million) and 1.76 million pounds. “Strictly Come Dancing” host Claudia Winkleman is the top woman, making 370,000379,999 pounds.

The salaries were published in bands, rather than as exact figures.

The information is sensitive because the BBC is funded directly by taxpayers, through a 150-pound (about $198) annual fee on every household that owns a television or watches the BBC online.
