LAS VEGAS, November 16, 2022 – VSiN, The Sports Betting Network (“VSiN”) today announced that the 24/7 broadcast network has signed a content distribution deal with Gow Media that will create one of the largest sports radio networks in the U.S. with more than 300 affiliates airing content, including both long form sports betting shows and Brent Musburger's one minute Action Updates. With this added reach, including major media markets like Houston, Detroit and San Diego/Los Angeles, VSiN will cement its position as the nation’s largest sports betting radio network and one of the most widely distributed sports radio networks of any kind.

Over the past five years, VSiN has established itself as a leading voice in this space, and now as the largest national sports betting network, we will bring our unique brand of sports wagering content to more fans than ever before.”
With the addition of these new radio stations, VSiN not only delivers more live sports betting audio content than any other provider, the network is also one of the largest producers of sports betting focused podcasts featuring a catalog of more than 15 podcasts.
Acquired by DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) in March 2021, VSiN delivers real-time sports betting content to both sharp bettors and those who are brand new to sports betting action, setting the stage for the day’s biggest sports betting events.
