We petition the BBC to have a fairer gender broadcasting policy. The balance at present is far to one sided. Just taking one example the BBC news 11th July at 08.36 reported on both the men's and women's Ashes. The men have a minute lead in then 1min 30sec of video. Women get 17secs with no video. The BBC defence is "I can sincerely assure you that our choice of sports reports for broadcast depends solely on the demands of our audience, rather than being gender selective." so lets demand!

Its honestly shameful how they prioritize men's sports like this. Every single time I turn on the news it's clear they dont care about the women athletes at all. Fix the coverage already.
