The Big Lead is reporting that CBS Sports will make history when they debut an all-female sports talk show this fall. According to the report, the show will be The View meets Pardon The Interruption.
The weekly program will air on CBS Sports Network featuring an all-female cast, produced and directed by women.
“We’re really excited and proud to be launching the first ever all female sports talk show,” David Berson, the President of CBS Sports told The Big Lead. “We have been discussing and developing the show for well over a year. Internally and externally, there’s been universal enthusiasm and across-the-board support.”
The names of potential talent include CBS Sports veteran Lesley Visser, Dana Jacobson (who previously worked at ESPN), CBS NFL analyst Amy Trask, and sideline reporters Allie LaForce, Tracy Wolfson and Jenny Dell.
This is groundbreaking and it will be interesting to see if CBS Sports can get the necessary audience needed to sustain its time slot and programming.
It will also be interesting to see if any of the analyst or members of the panel are African-American none of the names on the initial list released by the Big Lead are women of color.
