LAS VEGAS — The first media network dedicated to sports betting will once again supply its audio sports betting programming to the nation’s lone satellite radio service provider, starting January 17.
That’s the date VSiN content will return to SiriusXM.
It will be found on SiriusXM channel 158 and on the SiriusXM app, as a 24/7 offering.
“We’ve always understood the importance of the SiriusXM platform for sports fans and betting enthusiasts and are thrilled to deliver the unique sports betting content this engaged and growing audience is looking for – straight from the entertainment and gaming capital of the world in Las Vegas,” said Brian Musburger, President and Chief Business Officer at VSiN. “Distribution on SiriusXM is a critical component of our expansion strategy and helps solidify VSiN’s position as the nation’s largest sports betting network.”
In addition to the 24/7 channel, VSiN and SiriusXM are collaborating to produce a new show that will air exclusively on Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82) weeknights from 7pm-10pm Eastern. “VSiN Live on Mad Dog Sports Radio,” hosted by Patrick Meagher and Dustin Swedelson, debuts Monday evening (1/6) and will deliver sports talk and wagering-focused content to listeners while games are in progress.
“I’m thrilled to be working with the great team at SiriusXM again and excited that this agreement will allow us to collaborate on wagering and fantasy sports content that will entertain their national sports audience,” said Steve Cohen, Executive Vice President of Talent and Programming at VSiN. “A great first example of this collaboration is the daily show we’ll be jointly producing for Mad Dog Sports Radio, and we look forward to delivering additional first-in-class sports talk programming together.”
Eric Spitz, Vice President of Sports Programming for SiriusXM, added, “The demand for sports wagering content continues to grow and VSiN is a leader in this space. We’re very pleased to offer our listeners access to VSiN shows and personalities 24/7 on their dedicated channel, and are excited to work together on a new exclusive show on Mad Dog Sports Radio that will deliver sports fans the kind of smart, insightful content they want and expect.”
VSiN’s newsroom studio is located in the sportsbook at the Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
