For the first time, female athletes, teams, and leagues around the world will have a dedicated platform celebrating their achievements with the kind of visibility often reserved for male-dominated sports. This is all in part thanks to the incomparable Whoopi Goldberg.
The Academy Award-winning actress, celebrated comedian, and outspoken advocate for social justice, has long been a cultural force—and now, she’s bringing her influence to sports with the launch of the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN).
“It’ll be the home for live women’s sports from around the world,” Goldberg said last week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Launched in collaboration with international streaming company JungoTV, the network is now available in the United States via VIZIO WatchFree+, as well as internationally through Jio TV in India, Evision in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and Jungo Pinoy in the Philippines. The network’s mission is simple but groundbreaking: to provide a platform where female athletes, leagues, and sports events receive unparalleled visibility and celebration.

Last month, actress Tika Sumpter released a new podcast inspired by her 7-year-old daughter, US Weekly reports. “Adventures of Curiosity Cove” was created by Sumpter and her husband under the actresses’ Fort Sumpter multimedia company.
