In 2017, VSiN debuted with just three hours of live programming. Today, the one-of-a-kind network has a loyal and growing audience, a popular subscription product and is broadcasting 24/7 on SiriusXM and vsin.com. The investment from SeventySix Capital will support VSiN’s mission to expand their efforts of delivering the news, data and expert analysis of the rapidly growing sports betting industry that fans need to succeed.

“This investment comes at an exciting time, as the legalization of sports gambling across the country is driving an evolution within the sports media space. This will change the way people watch sports,” said Brian Musburger, VSiN Co-Founder and Chairman. “We couldn’t be more thrilled that Wayne, Ryan and the SeventySix Capital team are taking this ride with us. The team’s knowledge and expertise within sports and technology make them an essential partner. We’re looking forward to leveraging their expertise and relationships to capitalize on the huge and rapidly growing opportunity within the sports betting space."
