Is it a man’s world when it comes to presenting TV shows? #bbcnolan

Is it a mans world when it comes to presenting TV shows? According to a survey of all main channels in the UK men are twice as likely to appear on television as women. 500 hours of primetime television were studied during three months last year in a study commissioned by Channel 4, which found the worst area for gender balance overall was sport with just 2% of presenters, pundits or guests women. Films were the next worst genre with just 26% of on screen roles filled by women during that time.

Should TV roles be gender balanced or should they been given to whoever is best at the role?
