ESPN To Run Women's Sports Programming Block June 23 To Mark Title IX Anniv.

ESPN is planning to run a block of programming focused on women's sports across five of its TV networks and its broadband service on June 23. The move comes at the end of the company's three-month initiative called "The Power of IX," commemorating the 40th anniversary of Title IX. ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 and ESPN Classic will feature programming from a Title IX-themed set, where soccer analyst Julie Foudy will host. ESPN also plans to report from a celebration of Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary in Jersey City, N.J.'s Liberty State Park. ESPN's programming schedule will include two WNBA games, a U.S. Softball game against the Canadian national team and studio shows.
