Stations Are Betting on Mobile Sports Gambling: Affiliates Seeing the Value of VSiN Programming in Advance of Legalization in Their State

PHOENIX, AZ (03/12/2021)—As the exclusive radio network sales and affiliate sales partner of VSiN, the sports betting network, Skyview Networks announced six new stations signing on for its content in markets that do not currently have legalized mobile gambling: Phoenix, Arizona; Palm Springs, California; Jacksonville, Florida and Toledo, Ohio.

Steve Jones, President and COO of Skyview Networks explained, “The odds and betting news and analysis VSiN shares is intelligent and compelling, providing value to the listener, even without the ability to take part in mobile betting in their state. With six states considering sports gambling legislation already this year, we are finding stations hungry to be the first in their market to lock in this exciting programming in advance.”

With the 24/7 content and one-minute Action Updates, the VSiN Radio Network has many offerings that fit various formats. Recently, several iHeart stations in the Toledo, Ohio market picked up VSiN content, including WCWA-AM (sports), WSPD-AM (news) and WIOT-FM (rock), while the state awaits gambling consideration by their legislature.

The one-minute Action Updates have also expanded across states and formats, “VSiN is a great partner that is helping 1010 XL monetize our listener interest in gaming,” said Ken Brady, General Sales Manager of 1010 XL Jacksonville, Florida. “They are a great group of responsive professionals who were able to provide customized local gaming content with customized sponsorship tags. This type of partnership and quality of work helped us secure a sponsor of the updates we are taking before the first report aired.”

VSiN’s long form Prime Time Action is picking up several stations including KQFN-AM (sports) in Phoenix, Arizona and in advance of the NCAA’s upcoming March Madness tournament. “With the rapid expansion of regulated sports betting, more Americans will take a little action on this year’s NCAA Tournament than ever before,” said Derek Van Nostran, CMO at VSiN. “We’re thrilled to deliver the news, analysis and insights this growing audience needs to make more informed wagering decisions.”

Listeners will hear VSiN’s March Madness special coverage March 14, 2021-April 5, 2021, kicking off with Selection Sunday programming followed by – expanded content during the daily tournament.
