Michael Strahan, the star of\u00a0Fox NFL Sunday<\/em> and\u00a0Good Morning America<\/em>, is getting into podcasting as both a host and executive.<\/p>\n Strahan\u2019s SMAC Entertainment this week announced a new podcast network called The Intersection, with Sinclair\u2019s AMP Media as a production partner. The network is slated for launch by early fall, SMAC COO April Guidone told Awful Announcing this week.<\/p>\n The Intersection will feature two video shows at launch. In one, Strahan and business partner Constance Schwartz-Morini will interview \u201cthe world\u2019s most celebrated icons.\u201d In the other, Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens (a client of SMAC\u2019s talent representation division) and comedian Chris Spencer will talk about the latest news in sports and pop culture.<\/p>\n Guidone said other shows are likely in 2027, spanning sports, culture, entertainment and music.<\/p>\n Previously, SMAC has helped\u00a0develop podcasts\u00a0such as<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Calm Down<\/em> with Fox\u2019s Erin Andrews<\/a>, a SMAC client. With The Intersection, SMAC will oversee development and production while owning shows. Not all shows on the network will feature SMAC clients, Guidone said.<\/p>\n \u201cSMAC has been developing content across different types of platforms for a really long time through SMAC Productions, and while a lot of our productions are sports, we do run the gamut across entertainment as a whole,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we do see the podcast network as an extension of what we\u2019ve been doing already.\u201d<\/p>\n SMAC has produced numerous documentaries, reality series and digital shows. The company is also a coproducer on the forthcoming\u00a0Madden<\/em> biopic about the famed NFL coach and broadcaster.<\/p>\n Guidone said AMP appealed as a distribution partner because of its scale and \u201ccross-platform\u201d reach. AMP, which produces podcasts from sports media stars like Matt Leinart, Landon Donovan and Tim Howard<\/a>, and Candace Parker, is a subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group. Some AMP podcasts air on Sinclair television affiliates<\/a>. Advertisers are often attracted to placements that span multiple platforms.<\/p>\n At a time when many media companies, including several run by current and former athletes, are going to market with video podcasts, The Intersection ultimately must set itself apart.<\/p>\n Guidone said audiences will get a different version of Strahan on his show than they might be used to seeing on ABC or Fox.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is on television six days a week. He\u2019s a journalist and an analyst,\u201d she said. \u201cYou see little pieces of his personality come out. He is a fun and sometimes playful kind of guy, and I think that he has so many sides to him. He\u2019s business, he\u2019s a journalist, he\u2019s a football player. But he\u2019s also a real human being.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source awfulannouncing.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael Strahan, the star of\u00a0Fox NFL Sunday and\u00a0Good Morning America, is getting into podcasting as both a host and executive.
