Join the Conversation Across all Platforms with #CSNTOMBOY
NBC Sports Regional Networks today announced the launch of TOMBOY, a multi-platform documentary project that aims to elevate the conversation about gender in sports told through the voices of many of the world’s most prominent female athletes, broadcasters and sports executives. The first-of-its-kind integrated initiative culminates with a special one-hour documentary, also titled TOMBOY, which will air across all NBC Sports Regional Networks, nationally distributed NBCSN, and select NBC Owned Television Stations in March. In Northern California, TOMBOY will debut on Friday, March 10 at 8 p.m. on CSN Bay Area.
Every weekday leading up to the launch, the Comcast SportsNets (CSNs) will release daily podcasts, articles, and interviews with the biggest and most influential names in women’s sports to foster engagement and dialogue. Most CSN markets will also host symposiums in conjunction with local colleges to encourage participation and conversation at a regional level.
The one-hour TOMBOY documentary (produced locally by CSN Bay Area) -- includes interviews with four-time World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn, Little League World Series pitching sensation Mo’ne Davis, and Basketball Hall of Famer Ann Meyers-Drysdale, and many more -- features female stories and perspectives. The documentary will premiere during Women’s History Month in March.
