Hollywood icon Whoopi Goldberg hopes her newly launched All Women's Sports Network will bring more attention to women's sports.
Goldberg started the network with George Chung, co-founder of international media holding company Jungo TV.
It's the first global media channel dedicated exclusively to highlighting women's sports and is available in the U.S. on the free streaming service Vizio WatchFree+.
Goldberg told CNBC her childhood passion for sports and desire for greater female representation in the field inspired her to start the network.
AWSN is also available via international partners in India, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines.
