BBC Anchor Martine Croxall Sues for Age and Sex Discrimination

Martine Croxall, a BBC news anchor, has initiated legal action against the corporation citing age and sex discrimination after a restructuring led to her prolonged absence from the air.

Martine Croxall is suing the BBC following a year-long absence after the merger of its home and world news channels.
The legal action includes claims for age discrimination, sex discrimination, and equal pay, with a tribunal set for May 1.
Croxall and other female presenters were overlooked for chief presenter roles in favor of younger or male colleagues.
Previous cases of gender pay disputes at the BBC include Samira Ahmed's successful claim in 2020.
The BBC faces criticism for its handling of the restructuring and the financial impact of maintaining sidelined presenters.
