XFL + VSin + iHeartRadio
The NFL season ended last weekend… maybe you heard something about that… now, football fans are gearing up for the premiere of the new XFL this Saturday, February 8. As part of the XFL’s inaugural season, the XFL, iHeartRadio and VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network) have entered into a three-way partnership to create audio BetCasts for two games each week during the 2020 XFL 10-week regular season and two-week post-season. The BetCasts will feature VSiN sports betting experts covering XFL games live from VSiN’s studios in Las Vegas through a wagering lens. These unique digital audio broadcasts, available on the iHeartRadio app, will deliver real-time odds, as well as in-depth analysis of the events behind those changing lines to inform fans during the live action of the games.
“Football is America’s favorite sport for wagering and we’re committed to providing football fans XFL content that aligns with their betting interests,” said Jeffrey Pollack, President & COO of the XFL. “A core part of our strategy is to embrace the spread, and with great partners like VSiN and iHeartRadio, we are uniquely positioned to do just that and provide fans with industry-leading wagering analysis that will strengthen their engagement with our games.”
“This is a unique and compelling audio experience for listeners,” said Darren Davis, President of iHeartRadio and the iHeartMedia Networks Group. “We are looking forward to partnering with XFL and VSiN to offer this exclusive sports betting content and programming to diehard sports fans across the country, right at their fingertips through iHeartRadio.”
Brian Musburger, Founder & CEO of VSiN, remarked, “It’s great to see a league like the XFL embrace sports betting as a way to drive fan engagement and interest. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with the forward-thinking executives at both the XFL and iHeart to deliver the most credible and actionable sports betting content to football fans around the country on the No. 1 audio platform.”
