Tackling the Pay Gap in Women's Sport
Published Wed 09 Nov 2016
This summer, you can catch more female sport on your screens than ever before. Netball's Fast 5 series aired in prime time at the end of October, and in recent days the W-League announced it's upcoming season has been picked up by America broadcasters ESPN. Our women's cricket are also gearing up for the Big Bash League, which will see a stand-alone women's match broadcast on a primary channel of a commercial free-to-air network for the first time.
But even with eyes on the screen and bums on seats, our female athletes are still fighting for professionalism. 2SER Producer Lucy Rayner spoke to Sport NSW Ambassador Alex Blackwell and Director Susan Horwitz to look at what's being done in terms of moving towards greater gender equity.
