Fact is, it's probably a little early to say much about this considering women haven't had many opportunities to call games for the "big 3", NFL, MLB, NBA until recently. And let's face it, most announcers are pretty mediocre, man or woman.
That said, as a tennis fan, I always thought Mary Carillo was pretty good, along with Pam Shriver, Martina Navratilova and Mary Jo Fernandez. All can hold their own with the men.
Having lived in NYC for awhile, I would catch some Yankees broadcasts, and Susan Waldman/Wildman? isn't terrible, nor was Nancy Newman. Certainly no worse than the insufferable Michael Kay or John ****ing Stirling. Not exactly a high bar, but I digress...
Aside from that, I haven't heard enough women calling games to really give much of an opinion.
