History in the making: all-female sports talk show to be trialled in the US

A sports television network in the United States will make history when it debuts the first all-female sports talk show panel.

Media commentary site The Big Lead reported that it will be a weekly show, which will air on CBS Sports Network.

It will not only feature an all-female cast but will also be produced and directed entirely by women.

“We’re really excited and proud to be launching the first ever all female sports talk show,” David Berson, the President of CBS Sports told The Big Lead.

“We have been discussing and developing the show for well over a year.

“Internally and externally, there’s been universal enthusiasm and across-the-board support.”

The network would not reveal the show’s format, but confirmed it wouldn’t just be about women’s sports.

“It’s long overdue,” Mr Berson said.

“We feel we’re the right network and place for it with a tremendously respected roster of female sports journalists.”
