TV coverage of women’s sports: A different point of view from now on
About this episode
The episode discusses a new guide for TV coverage of women's sports focusing on athletic performance.
In a bid to focus on athletic performance rather than the physical form of female athletes, the European Broadcasting Union and European Athletics have released an official guide for television directors and camera operators. To discuss this development, Lester Kiewit speaks to Geraldine Pillay, former sprinter and sprint coach, and Dr Alexia Smit, lecturer in film studies at the Centre for Film and Media studies at UCT. Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show. This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call. Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is informative, enlightening and accessible. The team’s ability to spot & share relevant and unusual stories make the programme inclusive and thought-provoking. Don’t miss the popular World View feature at 7:45am daily. Listen out for #LesterInYourLounge which is an outside broadcast – from the home of a listener in a different part of Cape Town - on the first Wednesday of every month. This show introduces you to interesting Capetonians as well as their favourite communities, habits, local personalities and neighbourhood news. Thank…
