ESPN to broadcast an NBA game with an all-female cast

The Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans game Wednesday will be produced by an all-female team.

The game’s announcers are Beth Mowins and Doris Burke. On International Women’s Day, there will be more than 70 women covering the pregame and the game. Many positions will be filled by them, including those of analysts, commentators, producers, directors, graphic designers, statisticians, and social media managers. They aim to serve as an example for the future generation of female entrepreneurs.
