WUSA announced an exclusive partnership with the NFL’s Washington Commanders. As part of the new partnership, reports TVNewsCheck, WUSA will launch two new shows, Commanders Kick-Off and Commanders Weekly. Commanders Kick-Off pregame will be hosted by WUSA’s Chick Hernandez and Wisdom Martin. Commanders Kick- Off will “serve as the premier destination for all things Commanders” every Sunday” from 11:30 a.m. to noon beginning with the upcoming 2024 season.
Commanders Weekly, the station says, “will highlight how the Commanders are leading by example and making a positive impact in the DMV community. The show will go beyond the game strategy and focus on the organization’s community impact.” It will be hosted by Chick Hernandez on Thursdays at 7-7:30 p.m., also beginning with the 2024 season.
“Great relationships are the foundation of great partnerships. For the past year we’ve been working closely with the Commanders by airing team programming, verifying reporting on every aspect of the coaching staff and draft process, and spotlighting their work in the community,” said Richard Dyer, WUSA SVP, media operations and president and general manager.
