Westwood One and Audacy have announced that the Infinity Sports Network will be rebranded as Westwood One Sports, effective December 29. The move expands a long-standing partnership between the two audio companies and positions them as joint leaders in national sports radio coverage.
Under the new structure, Westwood One will take over programming and distribution for most of the syndicated lineup, including The Jim Rome Show, which will continue to anchor weekdays from 3-6pm ET. Audacy will continue to produce the BetMGM Network programs -- You Better You Bet with Nick Kostos (9am-12pm ET), BetMGM Tonight (6-11pm ET), and additional weekend programming -- all of which will remain part of the Westwood One Sports roster. BetMGM will continue as presenting and exclusive sportsbook partner for those shows.
Westwood One Sports' 24/7 network will continue to feature real-time sports talk, expert commentary, and coverage of marquee events, including play-by-play broadcasts of the NFL, NCAA, and U.S. Soccer. The companies said advertisers will benefit from greater scale and new cross-platform sponsorship opportunities, while affiliates gain access to expanded content and brand resources.
"Audacy and Westwood One have a long, storied history of collaboration, and today's evolution of our national sports partnership is that next chapter," said Chris Oliviero, Chief Business Officer of Audacy. "We continue to smartly look at ways to enhance our leadership position in sports content."
"Westwood One Sports has always been synonymous with the biggest moments in sports audio," added Collin Jones, President of Westwood One and EVP of Corporate Strategy & Development for Cumulus Media. "Launching Westwood One Sports 24/7 programming strengthens that legacy and positions us to deliver unmatched coverage and commentary to fans coast-to-coast."
Programming will also be available on the Audacy app, Westwood One's digital platforms, and through podcast distribution, offering listeners on-demand access and creating new opportunities for advertisers to reach fans across platforms.
