Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper is exiting the media company.

Skipper co-founded Meadowlark in 2021 alongside radio host Dan Le Batard with a goal of bringing his show to digital platforms. Skipper, the former president of ESPN, subsequently pushed Meadowlark to develop documentary and unscripted fare, inking a first look deal with Apple TV+, and developed a franchise called Sports Explains the World that would encompass both anthology series and podcasts.

In a statement posted to his social media accounts, Le Batard indicated that the company will continue to produce documentary fare, and that Skipper would remain involved providing leadership and guidance to the company.

Thankful to John Skipper for his friendship and look forward to his continued leadership and guidance on and off air, Le Batard wrote. I asked him to build a successful, fiercely independent media company within four years, and he has. Meadowlark will continue to produce films and documentaries. Our audio/video network is thriving, and we look forward to sharing good news shortly in that regard. Im so grateful that our Skipper has navigated todays turbulent media seas to get us into much safer waters.
