One such individual is Jason Gregor, who hosts his show on the network. During a recent broadcast, Gregor discussed his desire to hire additional co-hosts and staff members.
When asked if he would consider hiring a female co-host, he responded by stating that he only hires people with experience and that he had already developed a working relationship with Meg Morrison prior to joining Sports 1440.
He went on to say that there weren't many qualified female candidates and that having women on the air wasn't a priority. Unfortunately, these comments come across as insensitive and suggest a lack of understanding about how to avoid being seen as a misogynist.
While Gregor claims to use a merit-based hiring system, it appears that he didn't make an effort to find qualified female candidates. This is a missed opportunity to diversify the staff and create a more inclusive work environment.
