Question

Topic: Today, TV channels provide more men's sport shows than women's sport shows, why? Should TV channels give equal time for women's sport and men's sport.

..........................................

These days, the media devotes more screen time to sports played by men than women. This men’s dominance in televised sports could be attributed to the quickly increasing sportsmen's viewership and in my book a balance between women and men’s sports coverage should be redressed.

The underlying reason why men’s sports are almost exclusively broadcast is because of the unprecedentedly increasing number of spectators for games played by men. Therefore, quite understandably, in terms of profit, television or sports producers would tend to prioritize and devote more live broadcasts or news coverage to sportsmen at the expense of sportswomen. As a result, they would gain more publicity and from there would come more promising contracts and sponsors as well. This situation clearly explains why so many sports women are living on meager wages and their news is relegated to a scrolling ticker bar when sports news is anchored.

However, i believe that sports broadcasts should not show favoritism to men’s sports but equal air-time should be given to women. If women’s sports news is televised more, they would eventually receive equal benefits as their male counterparts do which will improve their quality of life whether in or out of season. Additionally, women gaining more respect and recognition would also help promote equality between female and male. Another reason why women’s sports coverage should be increased is because more and more girls and women are now participating in sports than before and many more sports fans are taking a liking to female players, hence television producers should take notice of them more.

In conclusion, a massive number of spectators for sports played by men could greatly explain why TV channels appear biased against women’s sports. Personally, I take the view of equalizing sports broadcasts between men and women.
