VSiN, the first network dedicated to delivering daily information about sports gambling, has reached an agreement with 98.5 The Sports Hub to provide Boston-focused action updates.
Starting on Monday, August 20th, VSiN’s Action Updates which cover how sports betting markets are reacting to Boston’s sports teams will air on The Hub weekdays at 12:13pm ET and 6:13pm ET. The reports will originate from VSiN’s Las Vegas studio at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. Content will include the top sports betting stories of the day specifically customized for Boston sports fans.
“Sports gambling laws are changing across the country and The Sports Hub is proud to have a relationship with VSiN and the Musburger team to give our listeners the latest and most accurate information,” said Mike Thomas, Program Director, 98.5 The Sports Hub.
“As the radio home of Boston’s professional football, basketball and hockey teams, no one knows Boston sports fans better than The Sports Hub. We’re thrilled that WBZ-FM 98.5 chose VSiN to deliver the credible sports gambling information its listeners want,” said VSiN CEO Brian Musburger. “The Sports Hub joins a growing list of more than 25 terrestrial radio stations across the country bringing VSiN Action Updates to their listeners, including 670 The Score in Chicago, KNBR in San Francisco, The Mighty 1090 in San Diego, and 101 ESPN in St. Louis.”
