Yahoo Sports and Boardroom, the premier media brand co-founded by Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman covering the business of sports and entertainment, announce a content partnership that will help fans better understand the key players and storylines moving the business and culture of sports forward. The announcement was made at the 2025 Yahoo NewFront in New York City.
The collaboration includes two major initiatives, both set to launch later this year:
-
Network with Rich Kleiman: A new multi-platform video series co-produced by Yahoo Sports and Boardroom. Hosted by Kleiman, the show will spotlight in-depth conversations with prominent sports figures, focusing on their business ventures and personal passions.
-
A dedicated Boardroom hub: This new destination on the Yahoo Sports website will showcase full episodes and clips from Network with Rich Kleiman alongside original reporting and features from Boardroom.
“As Boardroom continues to grow, we’re grateful to partner with a like-minded brand like Yahoo Sports and bring our athlete and executive interviews to their extensive audience,” says Boardroom CEO and co-founder Rich Kleiman. “We’re looking forward to bringing Network to life and to shining a light on stories at the intersection of sports and culture.”
“We are thrilled to team up with Boardroom and launch a new online destination and video series that helps fans go deeper into the business and culture shaping the sports world,” says Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Sports. “There is immense interest and appetite in off-field and off-court news, perspective, and trends. Boardroom excels in these areas with smart, entertaining content and we are excited to collaborate together on coverage that goes beyond the box score.”
Network with Rich Kleiman marks the 12th new original show Yahoo Sports has launched since the beginning of 2024. It will record from the Yahoo Sports studios in New York City and also be available to watch on Boardroom.TV. A premiere date will be announced later this spring.
