As sports betting becomes more mainstream, that means there are going to be more opportunities for broadcasting growth. Now, BetRivers and VSiN are doing just that with a new show called “Rush Hour.”
It will be the first nationally televised show about sports betting from a sportsbook in Illinois.
“As the premier betting brand in Illinois, and first to launch both online and land-based sportsbooks in the state, Rivers Casino Des Plaines, Chicagoland’s Hometown Sportsbook, is a perfect backdrop for the new Rush Hour betting show,” said Corey Wise, general manager of Rivers Casino Des Plaines.
Every weekday from 6-7 PM CDT, Rush Hour will broadcast from Sirius XM, Comcast Xfinity, SlingTV, fubo TV, and VSiN.com.
“As BetRivers.com emerges as one of the top sportsbooks in Illinois and across the United States, we couldn’t be more excited to launch the first national sports betting show out of Illinois with our friends at BetRivers,” said Brian Musburger, founder and CEO of VSiN.
The show will bring fans betting analysis and sports betting odds as they move. They will have a growing audience of sports bettors in the United States that will tune in. They will be referring to proprietary data received by Rush Street Gaming and BetRivers.
This is an exciting development for bettors and fans across the country and is just another example of the growing sports betting industry and its path forwards.
The Host
The show will be hosted by Danny Burke, who has previously hosted “Bet On, Chicago” for VSiN. He grew up in Chicago and went to the University of Nebraska, where he majored in sports broadcasting.
Burke has had a lot of experience in sports television and radio. He worked with an ESPN affiliate in Lincoln, Nebraska, and has covered teams on the local level in print.
As a die-hard sports fan and experienced broadcaster, Burke will be an excellent fit for the new show.
