Whoopi Goldberg celebrated her birthday on “The View” by treating the audience to gifts and unveiling an exciting new venture — the launch of a television network dedicated solely to women’s sports. This long-anticipated project, known as the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN), has been in the works for over 16 years and aims to be the go-to channel for live coverage of various women’s sports including soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, judo, and cricket.
In her announcement, Whoopi emphasized the significance of empowering women athletes, stating, “Next is something that has been 16 years in the making.” She also highlighted a partnership with CommonSpirit Health, which will focus on promoting women’s health and wellness through the channel.
AWSN is not just a national initiative; it will be available worldwide, with current access in the U.S. via VIZIO WatchFree+. Whoopi had previously hinted at this project during an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” expressing her frustration over how young female athletes have often been overlooked.
This launch represents a significant step towards providing greater visibility and support for women in sports, potentially inspiring future generations of female athletes. By fostering a platform that showcases their talents and promotes their well-being, AWSN has the potential to create a more inclusive sports landscape.
This initiative is a hopeful testament to progress in women’s sports, and it encourages the celebration and recognition of female athletes for their contributions to the sporting world.
