In a departure from its traditional programming, which has focused on live sporting events and sports-related news, ESPN has green-lit two new series designed to attract a new audience. The first, Sidelines (yet another reality TV show), is scheduled to air in September and will follow a college football team during the fall season. Reuters reports that the network hasn’t yet decided which team the series will focus on. ESPN will also launch The Season, a monthly series of behind-the-scenes documentaries featuring various well-known athletes. The first installment of The Season will premiere on June 26 and will feature Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open.
