Yahoo Sports Network represents a way to put all of the company's sports programming under a single umbrella — and 'reach the fan where he or she is,' says Ryan Spoon, president of Yahoo Media Group, part of the search-and-content company that is backed by Apollo Global Management and Verizon. 'We had a couple hours of live programming a week. That number's now 60,' he adds. 'And it's going to keep growing.'
Programs will include live shows such as 'The Ariel Helwani Show,' 'Yahoo Sports Daily,' 'Inside Coverage,' and 'Yahoo Fantasy Forecast,' as well as recorded episodes of 'The Kevin O'Connor Show,' 'Football 301,' and 'Network with Rich Kleiman.'
Yahoo Sports' aim, says Spoon, is to 'go vertical by vertical, and develop what we think are really exemplary, leading shows and voices.' More than half of the shows available on the new outlet have launched in the past 18 months.
There has been considerable ramping up of original content in recent months. Yahoo Sports brought Josh Pate's 'College Football Show' to the platform and added Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey as co-hosts of its 'College Football Enquirer.' 'Yahoo Sports Daily,' a new live Monday through Friday morning program, recently launched with Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton. Yahoo Sports NFL insider program, 'Inside Coverage,' is streaming live for the first time with new host Andrew Siciliano.
Yahoo Sports Network, operated by C15 Studio, is available on LG Channels and Sling Freestream, and will launch on Samsung TV Plus, Amazon Fire TV, Fubo, Plex, Prime Video, and The Roku Channel over the coming weeks.
The channel is also available on yahoosports.tv, a new home for Yahoo Sports video. That site also features highlights from many major sports leagues, as well as content from partners such as OneFootball and Motorsport Network.

Valley View ISD calls for $65M bond election
Voters within the Valley View school district will have the opportunity to weigh in on a $65 million bond. VVISD trustees last week made the call to add the proposition on the Nov. 4 ballot, with projects designed to meet growing enrollment and counteract capacity issues by 40%. The maximum tax impact of the 2025 bond referendum would be an additional 28.35 cents per $100 of taxable property value. Based on the current population and property valuations, the average homeowner would see a tax increase of $49.11 per month. Taxpayers aged 65 or older, or disabled, who have filed the appropriate exemption, will see no increase to the school district portion of their property taxes on their primary residence. The proposal includes construction of a new high school, new spaces for Career and Technical Education, relocation of the baseball field, adding parking and fire lanes and land acquisition. The bond proposal was developed with input from a bond planning committee made up of approximately 30 community members, including parents, alumni, educators and local leaders. The committee met 10 times over the past year to study facility capacity, student enrollment trends, community survey data, potential project solutions and associated costs.
