VSiN New Deal with iHeartMedia Brings Sports Betting Podcasting and Live Stream Broadcasting to iHeartRadio
Partnership Dramatically Expands VSiN’s Audio Reach Through New Live Streaming iHeartRadio Station and Accelerates Efforts to Ramp Podcasting and Betcasting
VSiN, The Sports Betting Network, today announced the expansion of its partnership with iHeartMedia to significantly increase its audio reach. As part of this wide-ranging multimedia partnership, on January 1, 2021 VSiN will move its dedicated streaming radio station to iHeartRadio, the leading all-in-one free digital music, streaming radio and podcasting platform, bringing VSiN’s unique coverage of the sports betting markets to more listeners than ever, completely free for the first time.
“We’re thrilled to build on the success we’ve had with iHeart on the podcasting and betcasting front to announce an expanded partnership that will help us offer a better product to a broader audience for free,” said Brian Musburger, founder and CEO of VSiN. “We believe that removing the subscription hurdle on audio platforms will launch the critical next chapter for us on a technologically ubiquitous platform and set us up for 24/7 live programming in the very near term. This not only allows VSiN to get to more listeners on more devices but also to capture more advertising revenue as legalized sports betting continues its rapid spread across the U.S.”
