What we found

Supports. NewscastStudio reports the show 'debuted back on June 13, 2026,' and the Series Schedule listing states it 'Premiered June 13, 2026' on MS NOW.[1][2]

Supports. Wikipedia's Soboroff entry states that 'Connect with Jacob Soboroff' premiered on June 13, 2026, replacing Velshi; Spectrum On Demand also lists the original airdate as 06/13/2026.[3][4]

Supports. Apple Podcasts describes the show as starting June 13th, consistent with the premiere date.[5]

Context. The passage itself says the speaker started 'on June 13' and refers to 'Connect, my show', which resolves the referent; the claimant's own words are not used as corroboration.
