Vice Launches Female-Focused Channel Called Broadly

Media company’s 11th channel focuses on politics, culture, sex and fashion

Vice launched a female-focused channel dubbed Broadly on Monday, the media outlet’s 11th channel.

The new network will cater to young people on politics, culture, sex and fashion. It launches in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

Broadly will have profiles and columns and launches with several original series including: “Ovary Action which looks at all angles of reproductive health and “the mechanics of being a woman, from the latest in fertility technology to reproductive-rights legislation,” according to Vice.

“Broadly Meets” is an interview show covering female celebrities and global women; “Style and Errorgetssuper deep with the superficial” with segments revolving around the fashion industry.

Forthcoming series and documentaries include “GANGS,” which looks at women building communities around the world and “Samburu: Land of No Men, which is a documentary that looks at a women tribe in Kenya abandoned by their community.

“New media has been a game-changer for feminism–its appeal is palpable,” Editor In Chief and Director of Content Tracie Egan Morrissey said. “We can no longer be told that it’s not relevant or that we’re just imagining things. And so now is the time to elevate the coverage of women’s interests by telling the stories that matter to us through in-depth, original reporting and documentary video. We aren’t going to hold our breath and wait for mainstream outlets to meet our expectations. We’re just going to do it ourselves.”

“The same principals VICE applies to its storytelling will also apply to everything Broadly will do – we’re telling original stories you can’t find anywhere else, in the same voice and tone as that of our audience,”  Shanon Kelley said. “Building Broadly from the ground up with Tracie and our amazing team, along with the complete support of everyone at VICE has been an absolutely amazing experience. I can’t wait for the world to see Broadly.”
