I thought, well, because my professional experiences in private broadcasting are now at least 25 years old, nothing I experienced is relevant today and so...  Whoa.  Not so fast.  There is a certain relevancy, after all. I hear and see it daily. If it wasn't for "gender pay gap" back in the '70s and 80s (suspect it still exists, to some extent), women wouldn't have made the inroads they did in radio, and likely, TV, too.  Owners and managers realized they could hire young women for on-air jobs while paying them less than most men in the same positions. Result: win-win-win: women got hired for positions that, traditionally, were male.  Stations looked good--respecting women's talents, etc.; while lowering the operational overhead.

One unintended consequence: men left broadcasting in droves, because, over time, positions were devalued.  Listen to the radio.  Watch TV. Two nights ago, I saw 4 people in a row report the news-- women, every one. What, men LOST their talent and ability?
