Today, TV channels provide men's sport show more that women's sport show. Why is that? should TV channel give equal time for women's sport and men's sport.
TV channels in these days mainly broadcast men’s sport show than women’s sport show. Someone can criticizes this tendency as a sexual discrimination and insists the equal distribution of broadcasting time. However, it is quite natural for the broadcasting companies to have more men’s sport show than women's.
First of all, broadcasting companies are clearly representing the needs of people. They need to attract as many people as possible for their commercial benefit. Thus, TV show schedule is clearly depicting the interests of people. Thus, more men’s sport shows on TV mean that, men are more interested in the sport field then women. For example, when we look at the football, that makes huge commercial benefits in these days, there are lots of male fans in the stadium than female fans. Likewise, other famous sport games can drag people in front of TV shows are male friendly sports like basketball, car racing and baseball. Thus, for TV companies, putting more men’s sport shows on their channel is natural choice to be more successful.
Secondly, some other TV shows are women friendly. That means, there is no need to criticize sports shows for the reason that they mainly present men’s sport show. For instance, vast majority of cooking shows are women friendly. Adding to that, a large number of fashion channels are interested in women’s fashion than men’s. Thus, if someone wants to insist equal distribution of women’s sport shows on TV regardless of the interests of customers, he/she must answer to the question that, cooking and fashion TV shows must follow the strict equal distribution of time regardless of the interest of people.
To conclude, more men’s sport shows on TV are the consequence of represented interests of people. Thus, giving equal time for women’s sport shows can intervenes the market economy without sound grounds.
