VSiN and DraftKings will make their first appearance at Radio Row with a studio desk and live production complement, bringing its deep roster of football talent and sports betting experts to cover Super Bowl LVII. The team of emerging content creators, sports journalists and media stalwarts will be at the center of the action leading up to what has historically been the most bet game of the year for DraftKings.

Beginning on Monday, February 6, audio-visual programs such as Golic and Smetty, The Ross Tucker Football Podcast, GoJo, The Lombardi Line, The Sweat, Follow the Money, VSiN Final Countdown, VSiN Primetime and The GM Shuffle will anchor DraftKings' coverage at the Phoenix Convention Center as part of the NFL's annual Radio Row activities.

"We're excited to bring together this team of talented individuals to cover what has historically been the most bet game of the year at our company," said DraftKings Vice President of Content Stacie McCollum. "The on-site opportunity will allow DraftKings and VSiN talent to deliver real-time insights and enhanced content featuring celebrities and athletes as the media, entertainment and sports worlds collide in Phoenix for the big game."

"VSiN has distinguished itself as a leading voice in the sports betting space, in part, by staying at the center of the sports betting action," added VSiN founder and CEO Brian Musburger. "Super Bowl LVII is the first to be played in a legal sports betting state and we're thrilled to drop some of the industry's leading sports betting experts right into the action to help new and experienced bettors alike prepare for one of the biggest days on the sports betting calendar."

Special big game coverage will continue throughout the weekend on VSiN.com and across all of the network's audio, video and digital channels. Sunday's coverage will include 13 live linear hours featuring sports betting's team of experts, including NFL veterans like executive Michael Lombardi, former quarterback Shaun King and sportscaster Brent Musburger. Expanded coverage will include input from across the VSiN line up with additional insights from pro bettors and those setting the lines.
