"ARD reports in his program over more than 30 sports. Unfortunately, not every sport to the same extent taken into account, because the airtime for sport is limited. Football and winter sports are popular with viewers still very front. "

from the above answer of 1.German tv station on my inquiry about the tv presence of tt and the mentioning of winter sports you can also conclude the following:

currently ski jumping and biathlon are winter sport # 1 - i would say - regarding time on tv

so (excluding great sports like downhill skiing):
it doesn't matter how boring the sport is - see ski jumping: every jump looks the same - or how few people are actively doing the sport - see biathlon - what counts is how attractive the tv appearance of the sport looks on tv,

here tabletennis has probably much room for improvement
