All-female TV crew Marquette basketball broadcast highlights National Girls Women Sports Day

Marquette women's basketball game was broadcast on national TV with an all-female crew, highlighting the growing popularity and success of women's sports.

The Marquette women's basketball game on Wednesday night was a special event, as it was part of the annual Female Forward initiative and was broadcast on national TV. What made this broadcast unique was that every single person involved in it was a woman, from the play-by-play broadcaster to the camera operators and audio technicians.

Marquette senior guard Jordan King expressed her admiration for the hard work and dedication of the women involved in broadcasting their games. She also noted the impact that women covering women's sports has had on the popularity and success of the women's game.

The women's game has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with sold-out arenas, high TV ratings, and big-time stars. Players like King have noticed the increase in crowd sizes and the impact they have on young girls in the stands.

However, women's sports have not always received widespread support from a diverse fanbase. Marquette head coach Megan Duffy acknowledged the progress that has been made in the last decade or so, with young boys now wearing jerseys of female athletes.

Despite the progress, Duffy emphasized the need for continuous support for women's sports, not just on special occasions like the Female Forward game. The all-female broadcast team aimed to showcase the capabilities of women in the sports broadcast industry and inspire other girls and women to pursue careers in this field.

Game analyst Kim Adams highlighted the significance of the all-female broadcast and expressed hope for a future where women are not only celebrated on special occasions. She also emphasized the importance of representation in all aspects of sports broadcasting, from on-air positions to behind-the-scenes roles.

The Female Forward game and its all-female broadcast team served as a powerful reminder of the progress that has been made in women's sports and the continued need for support and representation. It was a special and empowering night that showcased the talent and capabilities of women in the sports broadcast industry.
