FUBO | April 20, 2020

NEW YORK

TV Network Also Adds More Originals, Movies and Documentaries

Three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas will add television host to his long list of credits on May 4 when his popular The No Chill Podcast is reimagined as No Chill with Gilbert Arenas for fubo Sports Network. No Chillwith Gilbert Arenas joins a robust lineup of new original shows, movies and documentaries airing this spring on the free-to-consumer TV network for passionate sports fans.

Through a partnership with Arenas’ No Chill Productions, the weekly No Chillwith Gilbert Arenas becomes a vodcast, where one of basketball's most unique characters shares his truly original perspective on the game. Joined by his co-host Mike Botticello, along with his colleagues throughout the sport, from players, to coaches, media personalities and future stars, Agent Zero offers up his unrivaled point of view and draws our attention to a different way of looking at the game of basketball...and life around it.

"When I got started with The No Chill Podcast, I wanted to share everything that I knew about basketball with my fans,” said Arenas. “Bringing it to fubo Sports Network, I wanted to bring it to the next level, shining a light on what I love about the game and its future stars."

In addition to No Chill with Gilbert Arenas, new fubo Sports Network partners and programming include:

Law&Crime Network- Sports Court, hosted by Law&Crime anchor/attorney Brian Buckmire, examines the week’s top legal and sports stories. The two minute segments are produced by the Law&Crime Network exclusively for fubo Sports Network.

fubo Sports Network’s partnerships with Gunpowder & Sky and 1091 Media, as well as a previously-announced deal with Gravitas, will also extend to fuboTV, giving subscribers access to sports and entertainment VOD movies anytime, anywhere.

“At a time when everyone is missing the thrill of live sports, we sought to ramp up fubo Sports Network’s original programming with compelling and inspiring sports stories,” said Pamela Duckworth, head of fubo Sports Network and original programming. “There is no storyteller more original than Gilbert Arenas, and we are thrilled he chose fubo Sports Network for his podcast’s television debut. I’m really excited about our spring programming lineup, and I look forward to adding back live sports as soon as it is safe.”

This new programming joins fubo Sports Network’s existing slate of talent-driven original programming including Call It a Night with Julie Stewart-Binks, Drinks with Binks and The Cooligans; live sports; and shows from partners FanDuel, The Players’ Tribune, Stadium, USA TODAY, VSiN and more.
