While many current hosts on the Infinity Sports Network have announced they’re leaving the network amid changes to Westwood One Sports, Pat Boyle is remaining on the new network as co-host of Bet MGM Tonight.
Boyle joined the Infinity Sports Network earlier this year in the 2-6 AM ET timeslot. He also worked as Boyle the co-host of Sunday’s Bets on the BetMGM Network and anchors the Gridiron Gameday NFL show.
In a post on social media, Boyle shared that he will work alongside Brad Evans on Bet MGM Tonight, which will air from 6-11 PM ET.
“Huge thanks to Mitch Rosen, Bruce Gilbert, Chris Oliviero, Jeff Sottolano, Andrew Williams, Armen Williams, and so many others at Audacy and Westwood One for the opportunity,” Boyle said. “Pumped for the 1st show on December 29th. Let’s take this thing to the moon.”
Boyle becomes one of the apparent lone holdovers in the new Westwood One Sports lineup. Several hosts between Bet MGM Network and Infinity Sports Network, including Joe Ostrowski, Sam Panayotovich, Bill Reiter, and Bart Winkler have each independently shared they’re leaving the network.
Morning hosts Maggie Gray and Andrew Perloff — who will be replaced by newcomer Drake C. Toll in the daypart — have yet to announce their plans for when the changes take place.
Westwood One Sports has yet to announce who will helm the 12-3 PM ET window when the new branding begins.

It’s a start. Now find slots for Winkler, JR and Reiter…and a role for David Shepherd. Something called Drake C. Toll, and Kostos? He’s ok, but he’s just generic gambling guy #whatever, c’mon.
Boyle got a job is he still going to scream at show opening. Very bush league. The rest should go work in Fresno or such low grade talent.

On one hand, good for Pat. But I’ve heard a bit of the BetMGM shows and the obsessive, nonstop focus on pushing listeners to gamble means I won’t ever be listening.
Bart Winkler should be the noon host. Gresh and David Sheppard should do 11p-6a slots
This is ridiculous you dump Winkler and keep Boyle. Wow when Boyle is on I never listen and I change the channel as Boyle is awful. Winkler is by far one of the best in the business just doesn’t make sense.
Spot on Tim. Pat Boyle is terrible.
Boyle is the annoying guy at the bar who knows everything and won’t shut up. He is honestly the worst I’ve ever heard in his current time slot. I like Dave Smith when he fills in.
Welcome to the world of “Wagertainment”, which is well on its way to overtaking 100% of sports talk radio.
There hasn’t been a single mention of or by Zach gelb
Makes me think he’s getting that 12-3 spot
You’d think they’d want a 2nd actual sports show leading into rome
