Back In January, it was announced that former ESPNers Dan Le Batard and John Skipper were teaming up to form Meadowlark Media, a progressive media enterprise in the same vein as the conservative-focused Outkick. Over the last few months, we’ve heard about some top-tier talent coming on board in various roles, including Hank Azaria, Jemele Hill, Mike Schur, and Adam McKay.
“With the intense competition to retain audiences at established media and to attract customers to new streaming services, we and our investors see an exciting opportunity for Meadowlark to work with the industry’s best storytellers to add the highest quality sports-focused original programming to their existing entertainment offerings,” said Skipper in a statement.
