I didn't say it would equal men's, but it would increase from what it is now. The CBS viewership has gone up every year, that's why they continue to broadcast more and more women's games.
There are women's games all over the TV and still the arenas are empty and only the "premiere" games get on CBS or other network TV.

The media covers a lot of HS girl's basketball in my state and still no one attends many of those games. Even when there is a double header and the girl's game is second, everyone leaves after the boy's game is over.

The media coverage is not going to make people watch a game they just do not enjoy. The media covers soccer and hockey all the time and no one attends those games for the most part.

Peace
