Deliberations begin in former KUSI anchor's pay inequity, gender discrimination lawsuit [Breaking]
Maas brought against McKinnon Broadcasting Co., which owns KUSI. Her lawsuit, filed in San Diego Superior Court, alleges the company violated state laws against unequal pay, age and gender discrimination, and whistleblower retaliation.Maas was paid about $65,000 less than co-anchor Allen Denton in 2019. His annual salary was $245,000; hers was $180,000.
During closing arguments Wednesday, an attorney for Maas told jurors that Maas and Denton did the same job, but KUSI paid Maas a lower salary because of her gender. Fitzgerald argued that Denton had more — and better — experience than Maas, including eight years as an evening anchor in the Bay Area — a larger market than San Diego, where Maas built her career.Maas’ attorneys said Maas worked in broadcast television for 33 years, compared to Denton’s 37 years on TV. KUSI’s attorneys said Denton had a 48-year career, including 11 years in radio before he jumped to TV news.
