Reporter calls for more men, diversity in WNBA broadcasts: ‘Feels like a girls’ club’

Longtime NBA reporter Ric Bucher wants more men on WNBA broadcasts.

On his podcast this week, Bucher criticized networks like ESPN and NBC for using all-female panels during their WNBA coverage.

"Why are all the color analysts and studio hosts women?" Bucher asked. "Women have served in a variety of positions on national NBA broadcasts. Why shouldn’t there be diversity on national WNBA broadcasts? What are the networks afraid of?"

He elaborated, arguing that WNBA analysts tend to be like-minded.
