ESPN’s award-winning news magazine show, E:60, will premiere a new series entitled, PROFILE:60, Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. Tuesday’s debut episode will feature Green Bay Packers QB and NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.
The new documentary-style format will extend E:60’s tradition of showcasing the biggest names and the best stories in sports. With 30-minute, single-topic films, PROFILE:60 will take viewers even deeper into the lives of today’s star athletes — those who made it, those who are on their way. PROFILE:60 will present stories that captivate, all told in E:60’s trademark modern, innovative, in-depth way.
“We work with Programming to figure out what works – – which athletes we profile — I don’t think every story we do warrants 30 or 60 minutes,†says Executive Producer Andy Tennant. “PROFILE:60 is mostly for superstar athletes — they’re the ones people want to get to know, about what makes them tick, life experiences, and how they can relate to them.â€
From Chico, Calif. to Green Bay, from high school to college, from NFL Draft day to replacing a legend, tomorrow’s PROFILE:60 on Rodgers features an even deeper dive into his foray into the music business, his relationship and experiences with his predecessor, Brett Favre, as well as Rodgers’ friendship with a young cancer patient from Milwaukee.
ON DECK: Next Tuesday’s PROFILE:60 features San Francisco 49ers LB Patrick Willis.
