TNT Sports and UNINTERRUPTED today announced a partnership to develop a new show that will be part of the TNT Sports on truTV programming lineup beginning later this week.

The weekly sports magazine series, Above the Fold with Jemele Hill - debuting Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 5 p.m. ET on truTV will deliver a comprehensive and engaging exploration of diverse stories inside the sports world. The 60-minute show will feature Hill and a rotating lineup of correspondents who will discuss and debate the latest news surrounding some of the biggest and most relevant sports stories of the week.

Hill has previously appeared as a guest correspondent on TNT Sports' The Arena, the in-depth storytelling franchise that offered thoughtful discussion centered on events taking place on and off the court during the 2020-2021 NBA season.

"I'm very excited to be working with TNT Sports and UNINTERRUPTED on a project that centers sports journalism and compelling storytelling, said Hill. "The sports media landscape is constantly evolving, but there is always room for nuance, depth and perspective."
