I actually believe these sorts of mandates are patronising to women viewers, because they assume that women can't enjoy a show's presenters on merit, but can only appreciate a program if spoken to by one of their own sex.

The identity of the white-clad driver is kept a closely guarded secret, but Schumacher, who was Formula One world drivers' champion seven times, finally revealed himself in the first of a new series of the show on Sunday night.
What do you think? Do you believe it?
The Stig took off his white helmet to loud cheers from the studio audience, revealing himself to be Schumacher.
Presenter Jeremy Clarkson pretended not to recognise him at first, asking him what he used to do before he became famous as the Stig, but then excitedly shouted to the studio audience: "It's Michael Schumacher!"
Former Formula One driver Perry McCarthy was Top Gear's original Stig, who dressed all in black during the first two series.
The show is shown in more than 100 countries worldwide.
The original Stig was axed from the show after British racing-car driver Perry McCarthy revealed his identity in an autobiography in 2002.
In January, media reports had claimed Stig was Ben Collins, who featured as a stuntman in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.
