*Jemele Hill has returned to her roots mentally with a new sports-centered TNT Sports show.
The Jasmine Brand, citing Variety, reports the former ESPN SportsCenter fixture, is assuming hosting duties for the series, titled “Above The Fold.” The outlet mentioned the series, which premiered Oct. 22, is a mixture of serious discussions with lighter moments in sports culture as it features profiles that expand beyond the field.
For Hill, who has nearly 30 years of sports journalism experience “Above The Fold” carries personal weight. In her eyes, her latest venture is a “love letter to the profession that changed my life.”
“What I love about being a part of this project is feeling that sense of a weekly commitment to that kind of storytelling,” the seasoned journalist told The Hollywood Reporter while highlighting the need for more in-depth narratives in sports journalism.
“Above The Fold” featuring host Jemele Hill, airs Thursdays at 7 p.m. on TruTV.
