LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — Linda Cohn is expanding her independent digital program through the Bleav Podcast Network, bringing the video show she launched on YouTube to Apple, Spotify and other audio platforms.
Cohn spent 34 years at ESPN, most prominently as a SportsCenter anchor. She launched her independent YouTube program in July and reportedly attracted more than 36,000 subscribers during its first two months.
Financial terms were not disclosed. The partnership illustrates a growing second-act model for established broadcast talent: build a directly owned video audience, then extend the same program into podcast distribution without surrendering the original channel.
