ESPN and Disney+ collaborating on new female-led sports show ‘Vibe Check’
Good news for sports fans! At the Disney Upfront event on May 13, ESPN and Disney+ shared an exciting plan to launch a brand-new show called “Vibe Check.” Set to debut exclusively on Disney+ in late June, this female-led, sports-focused studio show sounds like it’s going to be a hit.
“Vibe Check” will stream new episodes three times a week, packed with coverage of every sport, expert analysis, all-access moments, and opinions. The show will feature ESPN’s top female voices, bringing their expertise, insight, and storytelling together to offer a fresh, perspective-driven approach to sports coverage, says Disney+. They’re also planning to create engaging content for digital and social media platforms in addition to Disney+.
According to Burke Magnus, president of content at ESPN, this is an exciting opportunity to showcase the talented women at ESPN in a whole new light. He believes that these voices have always played a crucial role in shaping the sports landscape, and now they’re getting a chance to share their unique insights in an even more impactful way with Disney+ subscribers.
This show will be ESPN’s second exclusive content on Disney+, joining the ranks with “SC+,” a daily edition of “SportsCenter” that launched on March 3. For those of you who are eagerly waiting for the show to air, you can subscribe here to the FREE Media Play News Daily Newsletter!
