Michele Ghee: A Visionary Leader at the Helm

Michele Ghee, a seasoned media veteran with an illustrious career spanning several decades, brings a wealth of experience to her role as Chairwoman of PlayersTV. Having held key positions at notable media companies such as EBONY, Jet, CNN, and BET Networks, Ghee is well-equipped to steer PlayersTV toward new heights.

Ghee’s appointment underscores PlayersTV’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, as she has been a trailblazer in amplifying Black voices throughout her career. Her vision for the network extends beyond sports, focusing on the human stories that resonate with audiences globally.

“I’m honored to guide and direct this brilliant team of forward-thinking individuals to accelerate their growth,” said Ghee. “Deron, Collin, and the 70-plus athlete owners are more than passionate about sports; they are passionate about the human beings and the stories that transcend the game!”

Diverse Voices Amplified: Ogwumike and Clark Join as Investor-Owners

In addition to Ghee’s appointment, PlayersTV is proud to welcome WNBA stars Alysha Clark and Chiney Ogwumike as investor-owners. Both Clark and Ogwumike bring unique perspectives and a deep passion for sports, lifestyle, and culture to the network.

Chiney Ogwumike, known for her excellence both on and off the court, is poised to leverage her platform to create compelling content that resonates with authenticity and impact. As an athlete owner and investor, Ogwumike embodies PlayersTV’s commitment to empowering athletes to shape their narratives beyond the game.

“Joining PlayersTV as an athlete owner and investor is an exciting opportunity for me. I’m ready to take the reins of my narrative and leverage my voice to create compelling content that resonates with authenticity, meaning, and impact. This platform empowers me to not just be a player in the game, but a game-changer in storytelling, pushing boundaries and moving the needle forward,” said Chiney Ogwumike.

Alysha Clark, a three-time WNBA champion and culinary enthusiast, adds her talents to PlayersTV as the host of “Off-Seasoning with Alysha Clark.” Through her cooking show, Clark not only showcases her culinary skills but also shares authentic stories that inspire and resonate with viewers.

“I’m so humbled to be joining PlayersTV as an athlete investor and partner. To have the opportunity, alongside Chiney, to keep challenging the notion that athletes are one-dimensional is so exciting. Finally getting to bring my brand new show Off-Seasoning to life as the first female athlete on the platform with a cooking show is pretty special. To be quite frank, opportunities like this don’t come around often for players like me, so to know I am helping open the door for future generations while sharing stories on my show that are authentic and leave others feeling inspired is pretty freaking amazing,” said Alysha Clark.
