 ''The Gambler with Adam Kaufman'' |
WRKO/Boston launches a new local sports betting program hosted by Adam Kaufman, with contributions from Dan Watkins and Brian Antonelli. "The Gambler with Adam Kaufman" will begin Monday, May 1 at 10pm ET. This is Boston's first and only nightly sports betting show airing live on WRKO Monday through Thursday from 10pm-12am. In addition, a companion podcast can be streamed the following morning on the iHeartRadio app.
"The Gambler with Adam Kaufman" will include Kaufman hosting and providing his expertise on the local sports scene, while Antonelli and Watkins contribute their local team fanaticism and commentary on navigating the pitfalls of betting like a fan. Kaufman, Antonelli and Watkins will continue to be heard on additional iHeartRadio stations in Boston.
"Everyone I talk to is now betting on sports," said iHeartMedia Boston Director of Operations, News, Talk and Sports Bill Flaherty. "With the interest at a fever pitch, I can't think of a better time to launch this show."
"There's no greater platform than live sports talk radio and, since January, there's no greater obsession in and around Massachusetts than sports betting," added iHeartMedia Boston Sports Director Adam Kaufman. "I've been fortunate to spend many years of my career working in both areas and I couldn't be more thrilled to have them intersect now. Boston is ready for a nightly gambling show. I'm honored to host it and can't wait to sweat bets with listeners, industry experts, and our incredible team starting May 1."
