Whoopi Goldberg Launches First 24/7 Global Network Dedicated To Women’s Sports

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg is launching All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN), a dedicated 24/7 global sports network exclusively for women’s sports.

The EGOT-winning actress and longtime advocate announced the launch on the Jimmy Fallon Show.

Women’s Sports Finally Get Full-Time Coverage

In an industry where women’s sports receive less than 20% of total coverage, Goldberg’s network arrives to bridge the gap. 

Unlike traditional channels that occasionally cover women’s events, this platform will spotlight women’s sports continuously, offering professional basketball, soccer, and growing sports like skateboarding and surfing. 

Goldberg’s network goes beyond game coverage, featuring documentaries, live analysis, and behind-the-scenes content.

This approach includes showcasing game-day rituals, training methods, and personal stories, giving viewers a deeper appreciation for the drive and skill of women athletes. 

Accessible to Fans Worldwide

The goal is to create a community where the accomplishments of women athletes are celebrated and amplified.

The channel is also available on major cable providers and streaming platforms, making it easy for fans to follow their favorite athletes and explore new sports. 

This network is set to play a significant role in elevating women’s sports, with Goldberg committed to offering a platform where women athletes are given the spotlight they deserve.
