HSV Board Proposes TV Conference in the Women's Bundesliga - Frauen-Bundesliga executive slams Monday matches as bad for fans and TV
HSV executive Eric Huwer has spoken out against the current scheduling of Frauen-Bundesliga matches. He argues that the league's fragmented kickoff times are hurting fan engagement and television appeal. His criticism focuses on Monday evening games in particular.
Huwer described the 6:30 p.m. Monday slots as ineffective for drawing crowds. He claimed these matches add little value and make no sense from a broadcasting standpoint. Instead, he called for their removal from the schedule.
A better approach, according to Huwer, would be a consistent Sunday format. He proposed six matches kicking off at 3:30 p.m., with one standout fixture at a different time. This structure, he believes, would improve predictability for fans and broadcasters alike.
To further boost interest, Huwer suggested introducing a live TV conference format for the Frauen-Bundesliga. He sees this as a way to deepen engagement with women's football, though no existing model in the league currently follows this approach.
Huwer's comments highlight ongoing concerns about matchday scheduling in the Frauen-Bundesliga. His proposals aim to streamline timing and increase visibility for the league. The debate over kickoff slots and broadcasting strategies is likely to continue as clubs seek better fan and TV engagement.
