At the beginning of 2014, The Whistle Network launched as a one-stop source for sports-related content on YouTube. Five months later, it seems to be doing pretty well for itself. The Whistle has reportedly raised $10 million in funding as it attempts to establish itself as one of YouTube's premier multi-channel networks. The Whistle is attempting to do for sports what Machinima has done for gaming and Stylehaul has done for fashion. To that end, it has teamed up with some of the best-known sporting content creators on YouTube, including Dude Perfect, Alli Sports, and Brodie Smith. One of the network's newest series features "Bad British Commentator" Anthony Richardson, who attempts to talk about American sports despite knowing nothing about them: The Whistle has also partnered with professional leagues like the NFL, NBA, Mlb, PGA, and Nascar, and it also produces plenty of its own videos, which often feature a cheeky, Buzzfeed-esque style.
