ESPN To Launch New Website For Bill Simmons

[UNHWildCats]

Here’s Bill Simmons’ reward for sticking with ESPN: His own piece of turf, where the star columnist/multimedia experimenter can cultivate a new sports/pop culture site.

Simmons already has his own page on ESPN.com, but this is something much more ambitious, with a dedicated staff and a roster of contributing writers. If you were in Web publishing, you might call it a “vertical”. The rest of you might call it a digital magazine.

The site has been in the works for months, but it doesn’t have a name yet — ESPN says it is “working through the various processes to secure one”. And ESPN still doesn’t have a launch date for it, though it’s aiming for April or May.
