TNT Sports and Uninterrupted launched a new show this week, Above the Fold with Jemele Hille. The show debuted Tuesday evening and moving forward will air each Thursday at 7 p.m. ET on truTV. The network says the show will “delve into important stories and topics centered on the connection between sports and culture.”
The show will be an hour in length and Hill will be joined by a rotating lineup of contributors who will add to the conversation about the major and most relevant sports topics of the week.
“I’m very excited to be working with TNT Sports and Uninterrupted on a project that centers sports journalism and compelling storytelling, said Hill in a release. “The sports media landscape is constantly evolving, but there is always room for nuance, depth and perspective.”
“As we develop the TNT Sports on truTV programming lineup, we’re excited to partner with Uninterrupted and Jemele to create a show that will be entertaining, insightful and thought-provoking,” said Craig Barry, Chief Content Officer, TNT Sports. “Jemele is an influential voice within the sports community and has a unique lens. We are looking forward to building a platform to share meaningful and compelling perspectives with our fans.”
“Uninterrupted is a big fan of Jemele Hill, and given our previous work with her, we know audiences are in for a treat as she shares her unique perspective on sports and culture,” said Jamal Henderson, Chief Content Officer, The SpringHill Company. “As a brand founded on providing a platform for diverse voices of athletes and their interests, we’re excited to partner with TNT Sports on truTV to bring this series to audiences every week.”
