iHeartMedia, Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment announce lineup of WSAN shows

iHeartMedia and Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment announced the inaugural lineup of original podcast shows for WSAN, the first-ever audio platform dedicated exclusively to women’s sports – from soccer and basketball to tennis, golf, volleyball and more – featuring top athletes and personalities at the helm. Additionally, Capital One, e.l.f Cosmetics and e.l.f SKIN join as the founding partners of the new network. As a free, ad-supported network available across iHeartMedia’s broadcast, digital and podcast platforms and everywhere podcasts are heard, the Women’s Sports Audio Network is designed to amplify well-known and new influential women sports athletes and relevant programming to millions of listeners nationwide, and also unlock access to inventory and opportunities for brands to engage. Along with a slate of new shows, on June 18 WSAN will launch regular “Women’s Sports Reports” across iHeartMedia’s industry-leading broadcast radio stations nationwide, marking a landmark moment in bringing more equitable media coverage to women’s sports for the first time. At a time when the demand and interest in women’s sports have never been higher, iHeartMedia’s commitment to women’s sports will level the playing field in coverage, as iHeart is uniquely prepared to maximize exposure nationwide. iHeartMedia will flip the switch for the “Women’s Sports Reports” live at the Cannes Lions Festival in France, where Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment will host the Women’s Sports House, in partnership with Axios. The Women’s Sports House is part of TN50, a dedicated content platform and thought leadership series from Axios and Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment that explores the dollars and decisions required to drive “The Next 50” years in women’s sports. The event includes three days of dedicated programming exploring the future of business, leadership, creativity and talent within women’s sports for the next 50 years.
