The PwC report on BBC presenter pay is peppered with medians, midpoints, quartiles and categorisations; over 43 pages it tries to say the gender pay gap is not that bad, and that there's no evidence of gender pay bias.
In most cases, the accountants say they've been presented by BBC management with lots of good reasons why men have been paid more than women. In the other cases, if there was no gender bias, one must assume that management thought they could get away with it and didn't care.
Apparently the BBC now favours transparent pay grades...which it used to have, until it started paying News presenters £500k and more on Band 10 and 11. Job-sizing is the next fun activity.
