Question 1 Report

State two positive effects that television coverage can have on a sport. [2]

Answer Details

Answer:

  1. Increases the popularity and awareness of the sport - when a sport is shown on television, it reaches a much larger audience than could attend live events. This exposure introduces new people to the sport and builds a fan base. [1]
  2. Attracts sponsors and generates income - broadcasters pay for the rights to show popular sports, and companies pay to advertise during coverage. This money funds prize money, facilities, coaching and grassroots development. [1]

Other valid responses include: provides role models that encourage participation (viewers see successful athletes and are inspired to try the sport themselves), and educates viewers about rules, tactics and techniques, deepening their appreciation and engagement.
