’s gender and diversity pay gap has been hit by its acquisition of music broadcaster The Box Plus Network.
C4’s gender pay gap increased from 22.6% last year to 23.3% in 2019, although the company noted that this was largely down to the fact that Box, which includes music stations such as 4Music and Kerrang, had a larger gender pay gap. Without the Box figures, it notes that its pay gap decreased from 22.6% to 21.5%.
Separately, C4 reported disability pay gap data for the first time, which showed that there was no “meaningful” pay gap, a mean pay gap of -0.4%. However, in terms of LGBT+ pay gap data, which C4 is also reporting for the first time, shows that Channel 4 has a mean pay gap of 17.7%, though this reduces to 8.1% by median.
