This study was descriptive in terms of research strategy, the execution path, and the purpose of content analysis. Television sports programs in selected provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, Kurdistan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Khorasane Razavi were randomly selected and a total of three weeks each network application has been investigated. The results showed that the proportion of women versus men played sports program number 327 is zero. In other words, the four-month investigation no specific women's sport coverage in television sports programs in selected provinces has been done. Men's sports coverage 70.6 percent mix (gender neutral) 29.4 percent is accounted for. The mass media's role in influencing the development of women's sport, but according to the results of these reasons, it is not playing correctly. Efficient use of mass media, especially television, provincial functions as a trusted local media to promote women's sport at the community level seems necessary.
