FS1 has some decisions to make regarding its sports gambling show. Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports reports that FOX Bet Live is “in danger of being cancelled.”
The show launched in 2018 with Clay Travis, “Cousin” Sal Iacono, and Todd Fuhrman as panelists discussing the evening’s upcoming games and smartest plays. Rachel Bonnetta has been the show’s host since the beginning.
When the show debuted, it was called Lock It In. It went through a rebrand nearly one year ago, when FOX launched its FOX Bet app.
A FOX Sports spokeswoman told McCarthy plainly that “Fox Bet Live is not going away.”
If anything, the timing seems right for FS1 to put renewed promotional muscle behind FOX Bet Live. More states legalize sports gambling every year. Plus, Clay Travis now has a bigger platform than ever before, as he and Buck Sexton have launched their new show, which replaces Rush Limbaugh on Premier Radio Network. That alone would be enough to expose the FS1 show to a whole new world of potential viewers.
McCarthy reports that Bonnetta could also be moving on. He was told by a source that the host could be leaving FS1.
She is horrible on that show a new host would make it so much better. Shannon Spake would be a great host she was a regular on Travis FSR show. she has covered major pro and college sports and is very funny on air when given a chance. I know she host NASCAR race hub but that role could be filled by Kailin Vincie or Jamie little Spake would be a major upgrade over the current host
