BBC Wimbledon's Martina says McEnroe paid 10 times more
Martina Navratilova has claimed that fellow BBC Wimbledon star John McEnroe is paid ten times more than her.
The tennis star has added to the BBC's gender pay gap row, saying McEnroe earns between £150,000 and £199,999 a year, as opposed to her £15,000 pay for a similar role.
"It was a shock because John McEnroe makes at least £150,000," she told Panorama in an episode due to air tonight (March 19).
"I get about £15,000 for Wimbledon, and unless John McEnroe's doing a whole bunch of stuff outside of Wimbledon he's getting at least ten times as much money."
She added: "We were not told the truth, that's for sure. I'm not happy, it's shocking, it's still the good old boys' network.
"The bottom line is that male voices are valued more than women's voices."
Digital Spy has reached out to the BBC for comment.
In response, the BBC told The Daily Mail: "Martina is one of a number of occasional contributors who is contracted to carry out a fixed volume of work and paid per appearance.
"The BBC believes her pay reflects what she is asked to do, her time commitment, her level of broadcast experience, profile and track record and expertise.
"John is contracted to be on call for the BBC across the entire 13 days of the tournament. Along with Sue Barker, John is regarded as the face of our Wimbledon coverage.
"Gender isn't a factor," the BBC added.
Earlier this year, Radio 5 Live Breakfast presenter Nicky Campbell added his name to the list of male presenters agreeing to take a pay cut to close the gender pay gap.
Campbell's salary is listed as between £400,000 and £449,999, while co-host Rachel Burden is said to earn only £130,000. His new salary will reportedly be closer to hers is now.
It came after the likes of John Humphrys, Jeremy Vine, Huw Edwards, Nick Robinson and Jon Sopel all agreed to take a pay cut.
"The BBC has agreed pay cuts with a number of leading BBC News presenters and others have agreed in principle," a BBC spokesperson confirmed to Digital Spy.
