They aren't given the same coverage, because by and large, the competitors are fairly unknown when compared to the able bodied ahtletes. How many past paralympic champions, apart from Tanni GreyThompson, can you name? The vast majority of the public will probably watch the highlight show to see how the medals have been won, but won't really want to watch all of the heats etc. Putting everything on the red button at least gives people a chance to see them if they wish. Far better than not having any other option.
