\n\tRoku launched a new look at top female athletes Thursday that includes a relative newcomer to the field.<\/p>\n

\nOmaha Productions is best known for the programs it produces for ESPN \u2014 particularly the so-called \u201cManningCast\u201d featuring Omaha leader Peyton Manning and his brother, Eli \u2014 but the company is making inroads into a slate tied to women\u2019s sports. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are really encouraged by the appetite\u201d for programming about female athletes,\u201d says Colin Campbell, head of development for Omaha Productions, in a recent interview. \u201cThere\u2019s a real interest here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new series, \u201cGamechangers: America\u2019s Top 25 Female Athletes,\u201d is executive produced by Sue Bird, Alex Morgan, and Peyton Manning and features commentary from Olympic medalists Adam Rippon and Alysia Monta\u00f1o, comedians Fortune Feimster and Jared Freid, WNBA announcer Ryan Ruocco, Fox Sports soccer analyst Stu Holden, sports media personalities Katie Feeney and Katie Nolan, broadcasters Cari Champion and Hannah Storm, and others. Bird and Morgan also appear in the special, which uses light banter and commentary to help viewers understand the athletes\u2019 impact and achievements.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s an opportunity for Omaha to press into new production areas, says Eve Wulf, producer of current series for Omaha, during an inteview. \u201cGamechangers\u201d shows the company using humor in a new way, enlisting comedians and others in a format that might hearken to VH-1 retrospective shows like \u201cBest Week Ever\u201d or \u201cI Love The 90s.\u201d \u201cWe really wanted to create something that was lighthearted and celebratory. Salvatory. We want people to watch the show or come away with a conversation,\u201d says Wulf. \u201cI think we know that any reasonable person will disagree with some of the rankings and disagree with some of the athletes on the list and say, \u2018Why didn\u2019t you include so-and-so?\u2019 But what matters to us more is that it gets people talking about the athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOmaha, which was co-founded by Peyton Manning and longtime sports-media executive Jamie Horowitz and is backed by private-equity player Silver Lake and former Endeavor executive Patrick Whitesell, has been expanding its aperture in recent years. In 2026, it has released four different projects tied to women\u2019s sports, including weekly game-of-the-week coverage of League One Volleyball for Versant Media\u2019s USA cable network, which marks the company\u2019s first foray into season-long live-sports coverage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe great thing about women\u2019s sports is there are still a lot of stories that haven\u2019t been told,\u201d says Wulf. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of opportunity to go deep on different individuals. And I think that that\u2019s where we\u2019re going to spend our time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Omaha had a hand in \u201cThe Final Third,\u201d a three-part series that followed Angel City FC, Washington Spirit and Kansas City Current as the teams navigated their way through a season in the NWSL. A live one-hour special, \u201cCelebrating Pat Summitt,\u201d spotlighted the achievements of the legendary Tennessee women\u2019s basketball head coach who won eight national championships, and drew a non-traditional sponsorship from pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly.<\/p>\n

\n\tOmaha\u2019s growing interest in projects tied to women\u2019s sports mirrors the broader attention being paid to leagues including NWSL, WNBA and others. ESPN this summer is replacing its venerable \u201cSunday Night Baseball\u201d with \u201cWomen\u2019s Sports Sundays,\u201d a showcase for women\u2019s soccer and basketball that also requires new talent assignments as well as the production of new kinds of shoulder studio programming.<\/p>\n

\n\tCampbell, the Omaha executive, believes the growing interest in women\u2019s sports got a new boost after Caitlin Clark joined the roster of the Indiana Sun in 2024. The company realized \u201cthere\u2019s clearly an audience here,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s an appetite from distributors. So we kind of doubled down.\u201d<\/p>\n
