The Philadelphia-based company will air two daily shows, one in the morning and one in the evening under the “BetQL Network” beginning June 21.
The morning program, “The Daily Tip,” will air 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. ET. The show is co-hosted by Chelsea Messinger and Michael Jenkins.
Messinger has spent three years as a host for “Picks and Parlays” and “Sportsbook Review,” and before that served as a TV sportscaster. Jenkins recently hosted “By the Book” for Monumental Sports Network and spent 15 years as an anchor, host and reporter at NBC Sports Washington.
The evening show, “BetMGM Tonight,” will air 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. ET. It stars Quinton Mayo, a sports reporter formerly at NBC Sports Washington, and Ryan Horvat, previously a part-time on-air host, reporter and producer for Audacy station 1250 AM The Fan.
“We are ecstatic to announce the next phase of our planned expansion of the ‘BetQL Network,’ said Mike Dee, President of Sports, Audacy. “Our partnership with BetMGM – who is co-developing these shows alongside our sports programming team led by Matt Volk [Vice President of Sports] – enables us to create this new content that will both entertain and inform our audience around daily sports betting activity. We aspire for the ‘BetQL Network’ to become the go-to destination for the sports betting community and we’ll continue to announce new content to this dynamic platform over the next few months.”
The sports betting programs will air on The Bet 1430AM (KEZW-AM) in Denver, 93.1 HD3 in Los Angeles and The Bet 105.9 FM-HD2 in Chicago and the Audacy digital platform.
