VSiN continues to invest in sound leadership. The company has announced that Dan Mason has been named Chairman of VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network). He had previously served as strategic advisor to the sports betting information media network for the better part of the past year.
As part of Mason’s increased role, he will continue working with VSiN’s management team to capitalize on growth and partnership opportunities in the sports betting and media space. In addition to his position with VSiN, Mason serves as chairman of the Broadcasters Foundation of America, senior advisor for Broadcast Relations for iHeartMedia and contributes to the Horse Racing Radio Network.
“There are few media executives with both the experience and reputation that Dan brings to the table,” VSiN founder and CEO Brian Musburger said in a release. “He’s already brought invaluable guidance to our team as a senior adviser and investor, and we look forward to having even greater access to his unmatched depth of knowledge and relationships in this industry.”
“Brian and his team have caught lightning in a bottle here,” Mason added. “Besides establishing itself on the satellite platform, recently extending its agreement with SiriusXM, VSiN has made tremendous inroads into the OTT space with Sling TV and fuboTV, as well as growing its own subscription offerings. We will now look to further expand our reach across video and audio channels, including terrestrial radio where sports have thrived for decades.”
