Vibe Check promises “fast-paced coverage with expert analysis, all-access moments, unapologetic opinions and a healthy dose of laughter.” New episodes drop three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 5 p.m. ET), targeting audiences looking for fresh perspectives and authentic sports conversation rather than traditional highlight packages.
