Culture secretary calls for equal coverage for major women’s competitions like World Cup
The culture secretary has called for top flight women’s sport to be added to televised sport’s “crown jewels” list, which would guarantee them exposure to potentially mass audiences on free-to-air television that men’s tournaments such as the football
World Cup and FA Cup final currently enjoy.
Nicky Morgan, the
Secretary of State for digital, culture, media and sport, has written to TV rights holders advocating to make major women’s sports competitions “listed events” to create a level playing field with men’s events.
