John West launches Whistle Sports in New York in 2014 as a network bundling sports creators, with Dude Perfect and F2 Freestylers as anchor partners, funded by Sky, NBC Sports, Liberty Global, Snap and athletes including Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning. Renamed Team Whistle, it sells brand campaigns and distributes across 1,655 channels claiming 629 million followers. Eleven Sports buys it on March 29, 2021 for an undisclosed sum, and DAZN completes its takeover of Eleven and Whistle in February 2023, where it continues as a creator and brand studio.
