Whoopi Goldberg, Founder of AWSN, said, “The world is finally recognizing the incredible female athletes who have always been here but were not given the exposure they deserved. Bringing these athletes, teams, and leagues to over 2 billion people is historical. AWSN is a channel where girls and women can see themselves, where aspiration is transformed into performance, and competitiveness is celebrated. Because ‘When She Wins, We Win’.”
“The opportunity to bring dedicated coverage of women's sports to a global audience is long overdue,” said George Chung, Co-Founder of AWSN and JungoTV CEO. “Women's athletics has grown exponentially, and there hasn't been a single platform committed to showcasing these incredible stories, athletes, and events year-round. With this new network, we are proud to give women’s sports the visibility they deserve, creating a space where fans can engage with the athletes and teams they love."
