From the creation of Wabe Studios and the expanded slate of original video and audio offerings to its continued investment in award-winning local journalism, the 90% community-funded public media creator highlighted the power of its portfolio at the Wabe Preview ‘24 presentation held today at the Carter Center.
“The media landscape has changed drastically in the past 75 years, and as we look toward Wabe’s next 75 years, we’ll be adding more original, Atlanta-focused content than ever before,” says Wabe President and CEO Jennifer Dorian. “By investing in original programming and local award-winning journalism, we are well-positioned to continue to evolve with new capabilities, going from only a “station” to a streamer and studio. Our work is rooted locally, but its value and authenticity resonate throughout our region and nation.”

Last October, in honor of the league’s 75th anniversary, the NBA issued a list of what it deemed “the 75 Greatest Players in NBA History.” Since then, the list has been fodder for endless debate among fans and the purveyors of sports talk radio.
Now, one of the 75 players on that list, Hall-of-Famer and current Inside the NBA analyst Charles Barkley, is offering his own unique take on the concept.
Barkley and Oakhurst Entertainment have partnered with Turner Sports to premiere The Great Debate, a documentary film that seeks to reframe the classic debate about basketball’s greatest of all time by redefining the very concept of “greatness.”
The film premieres Wednesday, May 18, at 6:30 p.m. Et — just prior to TNT’s presentation of Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Western Conference Finals — and will feature Barkley telling the stories of the players that inspired him and explaining what a debate...

Bob Costas isn’t hosting the Olympics any longer, but he’s still having conversations about bigger issues in sports. Not too long ago, with the Summer Olympics in full swing, he might have held forth on NBC. Friday night, he will be doing it for HBO.
Costas returns to the WarnerMedia outlet with a show he says will be much like the ones he did for the service last decade, “On the Record With Bob Costas” and “Costas Now.” Indeed, the new program is titled “Back on the Record,” and the sportscaster says it will try to stay above the hot-talk fray sports aficionados typically get on TV each day.
“It’s not an hour long version of the day-to-day sort of debate that happens all over the dial,” Costas says during a recent interview. “Those have their place, but we are going to be a quarterly show, and...

Lilly Singh launched the second season of her late-night show A Little Late in January – having been off the air for nearly eight months due to the pandemic.
She returned not in a studio as she was in season one, but in a house in Los Angeles, that made the NBC show feel more casual and also allowed her and her team more easily able to film during Covid-19.
Singh tells Deadline how they achieved that, how breaking out of from the behind the desk was the best decision for the show and how she’s feeling about doing more of the show after season two ends.
This comes as the YouTube star gets ready for Boss Week – a week of shows, starting March 22, where she will interview powerful women that generally don’t appear on late-night shows including Melinda Gates, Ayesha Curry, Whitney Wolfe Herd and Renee Montgomery.
