It is a critical time for women, both in the United States and across the world.
From the rise of the #MeToo movement to the growing swath of females running for political office, women are rallying to bring positive change to the workplace and to halls of justice and government.
And to celebrate their achievements, Cheddar is launching a full day of programming dedicated to highlighting those efforts, with 100 percent female anchors and 100 percent female guests.
We want to know these women's "YES I WILL" moments -- the time in their lives they were inspired to fight for change.
“#chedHER is a day dedicated to advancing the conversation,” said Anjali Kumar, Chief People Officer and General Counsel at Cheddar. “Ultimately, we hope that using our platform for this event inspires people to see change is happening and sparks them to take actions that result in real change across all industries.”
Over the course of eight hours, Cheddar’s female anchors, Hope King, Jill Wagner, Kristen Scholer, and Alyssa Julya Smith, will be joined by women co-hosts from the worlds of business, politics, and the media. That includes JPMorgan CMO Kristin Lemkau, Hulu CFO Elaine Paul, Rep. Barbara Lee of California, and Olympic gold medalist Hope Solo.
These are women who understand how to make things happen and know what is necessary to bring change to Washington, to corporate boardrooms, to playing fields, and to movie sets.
Individually and together, they will discuss successes and challenges in their fields, where change is happening, who’s making those changes happen, and what needs to happen next.
“The best part of working at an independent news network is that we get to do things like this. We can push the envelope,” said Melissa Rosenthal, EVP at Cheddar. “We are proud to celebrate women in business across multiple industries and have the first broadcast of its kind on a post-cable news network.”
The #chedHER conversation will air live on Thursday, February 8, from 9 am to 5 pm ET. You can watch on Sling TV, Layer3 TV, Comcast X1, Twitch, Twitter, Pluto TV, Philo, TuneIn, Amazon Channels, Cheddar.com, and the Cheddar app.

Disney content has gone dark on YouTube TV, leaving subscribers of the Google-owned live streaming platform without access to major networks like ESPN and ABC. That’s because the companies have failed to reach a new licensing deal to keep Disney channels on YouTube TV. Depending on how long it lasts, the dispute could particularly impact coverage of U.S. college football matchups over the weekend — on top of other news and entertainment disruptions that have already arrived. In the meantime, YouTube TV subscribers who want to watch Disney channels could have little choice other than turning to the company’s own platforms, which come with their own price tags.
President Donald Trump said he has decided to lower his combined tariff rates on imports of Chinese goods to 47% after talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on curbing fentanyl trafficking.
Universal Music Group and AI platform Udio have settled a copyright lawsuit and will collaborate on a new music creation and streaming platform. The companies announced on Wednesday that they reached a compensatory legal settlement and new licensing agreements. These agreements aim to provide more revenue opportunities for Universal's artists and songwriters. The rise of AI song generation tools like Udio has disrupted the music streaming industry, leading to accusations from record labels. This deal marks the first since Universal and others sued Udio and Suno last year. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
