Navratilova slams BBC pay gap

LONDON - Tennis great Martina Navratilova on Monday accused the BBC of a "shocking" pay gap which saw her fellow Wimbledon pundit John McEnroe paid at least 10 times more than her.

Navratilova said she was paid around ￡15,000($20,900) by the BBC for her role as a commentator at Wimbledon, where she was crowned ladies' champion nine times during her tennis career.

It wasn't until the British broadcaster published the salaries of its highest-paid stars last July, in brackets of ￡50,000, that she realized fellow presenter McEnroe's pay packet was between ￡150,000 and ￡199,999.
