It’s WNBA players like you’ve never seen before-raw, wild and absolutely outrageous. So many of us are natural born entertainers and multifaceted women so we’re excited for people to be able to witness that.”

“Syd and TP are star personalities, and we're thrilled they and Togethxr have partnered with Maximum Effort Channel to showcase their greatness off the court,” said Kevin Hill, head of television development at Maximum Effort. “The channel is growing and our fall slate is an example of our long term goal to deliver clever comfort to everyone who needs it.”

Viewership of the channel, which is anchored by Bedtime Stories with Ryan, has grown steadily since our June launch. It’s been really fun creating programming and content innovations that consumers and advertisers have embraced so quickly.”

“Collaborating with Maximum Effort and Fubo to create The Syd + TP Show marks a moment in our industry where women athletes are being recognized for the talented multi-hyphenates that they are, and TOGETHXR is proud to make this our first comedy series. The magnetic chemistry of Syd and TP promises chaos and laughter, and an entirely new dimension of off-the-court sports entertainment. We can’t wait to share it with the world,” shares Reni Calister, executive vice president, content, TOGETHXR.
