Although women have been professional athletes since the early 20th century, women are still paid far less than their male counterparts and have fewer opportunities to pursue fulltime careers in sports. Let’s hear from one of the most famous women in sports journalism what she thinks about current trends, top women athletes, and the first woman to serve as head coach in the NBA. Award-winning sports journalist Christine Brennan will speak to the obstacles women have faced in the sports world and the advances they have made, her experience covering the Tokyo Summer Olympics, and her thoughts about the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics.

Ms. Brennan has written and spoken on issues ranging from Title IX to the importance of women in sports journalism. She has covered every Olympic Games, summer and winter, since the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This program will be moderated by Tom O’Toole, “happily” retired Senior Editor @usatodaysports.

Montgomery Municipal Cable (MMCTV) is a government access station in Montgomery County, MD. MMC was designed to increase community awareness among the citizens of the county by broadcasting municipal events, educational programs and interviews with elected officials and other noteworthy individuals. You can find MMC on Channel 16 on Comcast, Verizon and RCN every evening as well as 24/7 access to our online video archives. Channel 16 is a member of the PEG Network (Public Education and Government) of Montgomery County. We are able to provide programming due to the continued support from the municipalities within the county.

We are located in the Kensington Town Hall/Armory. We have a state of the art, all virtual studio which allows us to change the background for each of our programs. All of our programs are produced and hosted by municipal and county residents who volunteer their time as a way of communicating a topic they are passionate about for the residents of Montgomery County.

MMC’s programming includes shows that provide the public with information pertaining to health and wellness, politics, business, the arts and life planning including services, organizations and local events. We also have programs for the Hispanic community.
