Joe Buck is getting back into the talk-show business, with a sports-themed program that will be televised on the Audience Network beginning next month and also will be on radio stations across the country, it was announced Tuesday.
Audience Network is owned by DirecTV, which will carry the program along with AT&T U-verse. Those companies recently merged.
Promoters of the show, filmed in front of an audience, say the programs will be “a genuine and honest conversation that brings viewers up close and personal conversations with these sports legends as they share how they have risen so far above the rest, what they have learned throughout their journey thus far and what lies ahead.”
His first guest is former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. Other subjects on the schedule include his NFL broadcast partner, Troy Aikman, as well as hockey’s Wayne Gretzky and soccer’s Abby Wambach.
