Scripps Sports Network will premiere Total Replay with the Makeshift Project October 21, bringing creators Zach Misischia and Brian Conforth to its free streaming television lineup.
The ten-episode series will explore memorable sports personalities and moments through rankings, challenges, games and discussion with guests.
Scripps announced the program October 15. The network will carry 30-minute editions on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern, beginning with two episodes back-to-back. Hour-long versions will arrive on the Scripps Sports YouTube channel the next day.
