FOX Sports Radio is adding Las Vegas sports-betting expert and founder/CEO of Pregame.com, R.J. Bell to the network’s lineup. Just in time for football season, Straight Outta Vegas with R.J. Bell will debut September 1st, broadcasting Fridays from 11p to midnight PT and Saturdays from 10p to midnight PT, on over 300 stations nationwide, as well as FOX Sports Radio’s channel on iHeartRadio and FOX Sports channel 83 on SiriusXM.
Bell and Las Vegas radio personality Steve Cofield, along with Pregame.com’s top analysts, will give FSR listeners a Vegas perspective on the leading sports stories and major games, including how breaking news and injury updates affect the odds. Bell will also feature interviews with the biggest names each week, integrating the best mainstream insight into the Las Vegas conversation.
Bell will continue to contribute to FOX Sports Radio’s 24/7 lineup, including The Herd with Colin Cowherd’s Blazing Five podcast, The JT “The Brick” Show with Tomm Looney, and Steve Gorman SPORTS.
“We’re making history,” shared Bell. “This is the first Vegas sports show on a major national radio network. FOX Sports Radio understands that even those who don’t bet on sports want to know who the favorites and underdogs are – it’s not a ‘hot take’ when the opinion is backed by cold cash. Pregame is honored to break this ground and we’re ready to produce a show different than any other, a show worthy of the faith shown in us.”
“We’re excited to welcome R.J. Bell to FOX Sports Radio, adding to the strongest lineup of sports-talk personalities in the industry,” shared Scott Shapiro, Vice President of Sports Programming for Premiere Networks and FOX Sports Radio. “There has never been more demand for the Vegas perspective in the world of sports. R.J. has proven to be a credible national voice for years who brings a uniquely interesting outlook for both casual and hardcore sports fans.”
