Default DJ Liz Kershaw, 63 Sacked for BBC radio 6 for being OLD

[The BBC is facing another ageism row after
broadcaster Liz Kershaw accused radio
station chiefs of sacking her
because she is older than 60.

The 63-year-old presenter’s departure
from BBC Radio 6 Music looks set to
reignite criticism of the corporation’s
treatment of older women, after she tweeted:
‘I got sacked from @BBC6Music because they
don’t want women over 60.’

Kershaw, who had been with the station
for 20 years until her departure in March,
was responding to a campaign calling
for a parliamentary debate on the
way ‘women are being erased from
public services and institutions’.]
