US comedian and television host Whoopi Goldberg is launching the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN), a new 24/7 global women’s sports channel.
Confirmed: AWSN will be available in 65 countries with a US launch in the offing
The network will show action from properties such as the Uefa Women’s Nations League, the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour and the International Basketball Federation (Fiba) 3×3 Women’s Series
Channel is currently distributed by Etisalat’s eLife streaming service in the Middle East, as well as by India’s JioTV and Philippines-based platform Jungo Pinoy Goldberg has partnered with Chicago-based hospital chain CommonSpirit to launch the network
During a recent appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Goldberg revealed that the idea to launch the AWSN came to her 16 years ago. She said that the network would show every sport that women are playing, with a mix of live and delayed broadcasts of games to be offered.
It joins other women’s sport focused broadcasting ventures including former ESPN executive Carol Stiff’s Women’s Sports Network and the Europe-based W-Sport, which is backed by Setanta Sports founder Mickey O’Rourke.
“Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to play sports,” Goldberg said on The Tonight Show. “My brother could play. He played baseball, he played softball, he played basketball, he played everything And they would say, ‘Oh, hi little girl.’
“It always pissed me off. So, for years, I’ve been talking to people and saying, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could go around the world, start getting young athletes in high school so that we can grow with them and grow up with them?”
“I feel like that will help us show that athletics — when they’re done brilliantly — it doesn’t matter who’s doing it. We don’t really have that relationship to women’s sports.”
Is that for women-women, or fake women as well?
do women watch women’s sports?
Dumpster Diving.
Who would put up money for this, looking for a tax write-off I guess.
There are plenty of Sports networks out there.
Lesbofest…..
All women or mostly women?
the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tourand thought it said:
the Women’s Tennis Association Tour (WTAT)which my mind immediately transformed into:
the Tennis Women’s Association Tour (TWAT)Okay, I'll go sit in the corner now.....
Yup. And sometimes partly because it just provided enough kids to even play. And nobody took it so seriously that they HAD to WIN at all costs.
I lived in a small town in NJ for a while as a kid, in a housing development off the main road. It was still out in the country so very li8ght traffic and so we played kickball or dodgeball in the street.
what’s the over/under? i give it a year...
they prolly have enough investment for that, but that’s it

“All women”… Does that include mentally ill men?
The sports version of Air America. The first time a man suits up, the network is done. I give it three months or until the second round of funding starts.
BS! Whoopi isn’t a biologist. A bilegist maybe.
“All women” or will there be trannies?
Not that I care, but the left struggles with simple biological facts sometimes.
Yea. They are real cute.
I watch woman’s college softball. Only sport I bother watching anymore.
I have always thought women were gods art.
Woppi will try and ruin that.
Caitlin Clark need not apply.
Women’s sports? Who cares? I am sure all of the 243 members of the actual audience of “The View” will sign up. Whoopi flushing money down the drain, or is it money laundering?
Pretty sure I won’t get that channel.
