Five New York anchorwomen have accused their employer, Charter Communications, of 'dramatically' reducing their on-air time in favor of younger men and woman with less experience, and paying and promoting them them less than their male counterparts.
Torre, 61, an Emmy-winner and a well-known face at the channel since 1992, says that her previous, three-hour weekday solo-anchoring slot was cut back to one hour, along with some co-anchoring time, and that her theater reviews were pulled from "On Stage," NY1's weekly program on Broadway.
Among the other claims in the suit: that Charter demoted Lee to a fill-in anchor and canceled her weekly arts and culture show, “Spotlight,” in January; that all of the women, despite excellent performance reviews, saw their airtime dwindle as the network groomed younger women with similar looks to take their places—they provided photographic backup in the suit."Men age on TV with a sense of gravitas, and we as women have an expiration date.
A Charter spokesperson denied the claims, saying, "We take these allegations seriously, and as we complete our thorough review, we have not found any merit to them. NY1 is a respectful and fair workplace, and we’re committed to providing a work environment in which all our employees are valued and empowered.”
But Torre, Lee, Shaughnessy, Ramirez, and Farinacci say their alleged mistreatment is part of a system of elevating men, while marginalizing more experienced women of TV news. See: the idea of elder anchorman as distinguished and trustworthy, while their female counterparts are disposable.
