Four female news presenters have settled their claims against the BBC regarding a rigged recruitment process, which they alleged involved sex and age discrimination. Despite the BBC's assertion that the application process was fair, the women contested their lost positions on the BBC News channel. The settlement, reached without any admission of liability, preempted a tribunal set to begin on Monday. The presenters expressed gratitude for the support they received and expressed enthusiasm about continuing their contributions to BBC News, especially regarding live and streaming services.
"We can confirm that we have reached a resolution with BBC management that avoids the need for a tribunal hearing in respect of our employment-related claims."
"A protracted process lasting almost three years is now over. We've been deeply moved by the support we've received."
"We look forward to contributing further to the success of BBC News, especially to live programming and the growing streaming services that are so important to our audiences."
