The Time Is Now: THIS IS IT NETWORK™
The media landscape is shifting in real time, and the signals are impossible to ignore. When Kelly Clarkson decided to step away from her daytime talk show to prioritize her family, it was a powerful reminder that women are often expected to choose between career and caregiving, visibility and well-being. And when Sherri Shepherd saw her show cancelled despite a loyal audience and cultural relevance, it underscored a long-standing truth: women’s voices are too often treated as optional within traditional media systems. These moments are not isolated. They are part of a broader pattern, one that makes the case for independent media not just compelling, but essential.
The Case for Owning Our Narrative
For decades, women have built audiences, driven ratings, and shaped culture, only to have decisions about their platforms made elsewhere. When priorities shift, budgets tighten, or strategies change, women-led shows are frequently the first to be paused, rebranded, or removed.
Independent media offers a different path forward. Owning our platforms means owning our timelines. It means choosing when to lean in and when to step back—without losing our voice. It means building spaces where women are not an afterthought, but the foundation.
Enter THIS IS IT NETWORK™
THIS IS IT NETWORK™ was built for this moment. As a global, women-focused digital streaming platform, our mission has always been clear: elevate remarkable women, amplify authentic voices, and create space for stories that deserve to be told; on our terms.
With the launch of CHELDIN LIVE, we are leading by example. CHELDIN LIVE is not just a talk show; it’s a daily touchpoint for women who want meaningful conversations, real leadership insights, and visibility without compromise. It’s a reminder that women don’t need permission to lead conversations that matter.
Looking Ahead: Our 2026 Digital Talk Show Lineup
As we move toward 2026, THIS IS IT NETWORK™ is expanding our digital talk show lineup with intention and impact. Our programming centers women across industries—business, sports, wellness, culture, innovation, and leadership; creating a diverse ecosystem of voices that reflect how women actually live, lead, and build. This is media designed for flexibility. For longevity. For women who may step back, pivot, or evolve, without disappearing.
More Than Ever, We Need Women’s Voices
Whether a woman chooses to pause to care for her family, like Kelly Clarkson, or faces decisions outside of their control, like Sherri Shepherd, the message is the same: women deserve platforms that don’t vanish when circumstances change. Independent media ensures continuity. It allows women to return when they’re ready, speak when they choose, and build legacies that outlast a single season or contract.
The Future Is Built, Not Granted
The time is now; not because traditional media is ending, but because women are no longer waiting to be centered within it.
At THIS IS IT NETWORK™, we believe in building what we want to see. We believe in ownership, sustainability, and community. And we believe that when women control the microphone, the message, and the medium, everyone benefits.
This is our moment to pave our own path.
To own our narrative. To lead; independently, intentionally, and together.
Welcome to the future of women-led media. Welcome to THIS IS IT NETWORK™. It is time to SCREAM YOUR DREAM™.
