Audacy’s BetQL Audio Network has started in just three local markets and lived mostly online. Today, the company is announcing a massive expansion.
The BetQL Audio Network will add six new cities today. A seventh will debut in one week.
Stations in Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Washington, DC have debuted on the AM dial. An AM/FM simulcast launches in New Orleans next week. These will join current BetQL Network affiliates in Baltimore, Denver, and LA.
“When we launched the ‘BetQL Network’ in January, we committed to giving our national audience a home for compelling sports betting content as this new landscape was rapidly growing,” Jeff Sottolano, Executive Vice President of Programming at Audacy, said in a press release. “This expansion is the next step in that goal and we’re pleased to bring new and dynamic ‘BetQL Network’ programming to nine additional markets and new digital platforms. We are proud to build on our local and national sports audio leadership position with this expanded commitment to production and distribution of entertaining sports betting content to audiences across the country.”
The network offers 14 hours of live programming each weekday. That includes shows in both morning and afternoon drive. A full schedule is listed below.
6:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. ET: | “The Daily Tip” with Chelsa Messinger and Michael Jenkins |
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET: | “BetQL Daily” with Joe Ostrowski and Joe Giglio |

This is the second major expansion for the network in a week. Last Monday, BetQL announced a new partnership with BetMGM that added two new shows to the network.
