SiriusXM emerged as the next stop of Brent Musburger, as the former ESPN broadcaster will team with Al Bernstein to launch VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network) at the radio platform. VSiN marks the first national radio channel dedicated to sports gaming, and will launch on February 27, anchored by Musburger and Bernstein, who will each host shows dedicated to providing exclusive and proprietary news, analysis and data to fans. Meanwhile, Sunday sees Musburger host a special early edition of his show, My Guys in the Desert on SiriusXM Rush at 3p.
The new channel will be broadcast live, seven days a week, from the floor of the sports book at the South Point Hotel Casino and Spa in Las Vegas and offer gaming enthusiasts with unbiased, timely, actionable information and expert perspectives on daily sporting events, including worldwide professional and college sports, boxing, MMA, horse racing and more with oddsmakers Jimmy Vaccaro, Vinny Magliulo and Chris Andrews.
“You didn’t think I’d put down the microphone completely, did you?!” said Musburger. “We’re incredibly excited about this new chapter and I look forward to having the platform of SiriusXM to talk to sports fans each day. We’re not here to tout or sell picks, but to talk about the real science behind gaming to help educate people about the games and what they read in the papers and hear from friends.”
