Canada – VSiN to take sports betting info to Canadian fans
By Phil - 10 May 2019
VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network) and Anthem Sports & Entertainment have announced that VSiN’s sports betting show, A Numbers Game, will air live on Anthem’s Game+ channel in the US and Canada each weekday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. ET.
In addition to this daily show, Game+ and its sister channel GameTV will air VSiN’s weekly sports betting highlights show, Best of VSiN, in more than 9 million homes across Canada. This content distribution deal with a leading Canadian video operator marks VSiN’s first foray into international media markets.
“Since the Supreme Court’s ruling on sports betting last year, we have seen a significant demand for informative analytics and expert opinions covering the entire sports genre,” said Chad Midgley, VP of Game+. “As a complementary addition to our existing fantasy sports coverage, VSiN’s A Numbers Game is a thoughtful and witty take on sports betting that should resonate with our core viewer base.”
A Numbers Game is hosted by Gill Alexander. The two-hour show is an informative and entertaining sports talk show that blends analytics with unique industry insights to deliver actionable sports betting information peppered with humor and the legendary betting stories that can only be found in Las Vegas. The show was included in the recent relaunch of the Game+ network. Formerly known as FNTSY Sports Network, Game+ remains the home for fantasy sports gaming news and information, and also features wagering information programming, Esports, high stakes poker, live action sports, wrestling and other fast-paced, action-adventure driven shows and lifestyle programming.
“We’re thrilled to partner with an innovator like Anthem for the first step in VSiN’s global expansion,” said Brian Musburger, founder and CEO of VSiN. “Available in more than 9 million homes across Canadian cable, satellite and IPTV systems, Game+ and GameTV provide the perfect platform for VSiN to reach sports fans across the country with credible sports betting information.”
