How do we improve basketball in the media?
March 25, 2009 in Hot Topic, News
We have the likes of “Slamdunk” on the national broadcaster SABC, then we have “Basketball Africa” on DSTV and finally there is www.mybasketball.co.za for our general news on basketball in South Africa and to some extent the continent. With these being our eyes around the country for information, why not look at the value they bring to the game that we love.
But are we as ballers happy with the service we are getting? I mean when was the last time we watched a live SA game on the telly? Or how do we influence the powers that be so that we get more coverage of the game on the television?
Are you as ballers happy with the way basketball is represented on TV with Slamdunk and basketAfrica? How about this site, how do you improve these channels of information? Obviously big shows like Slamdunk and BasketAfrica have editorial lines to follow and budget constraints but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement. What are your thoughts?
