FanDuel 3-Hour Sports Betting/Fantasy Sports TV
Like numerous states and even more casinos, the legalization of sports betting in May has set this market on fire, with outlets all over the country running to make their venues viable for sports betting.
One example of this happened recently. The conglomerate of Paddy Power BetFair, FanDuel and TVG recently announced a partnership with Barstool Sports, a former ESPN sports anchor, a Fox Sports TV host, a college football reporter, and a writer for the paywall sports brand The Athletic.
TVG, which is a national horse racing network, is at the epicenter of this deal.
Here is the TVG Sunday show schedule:
10 a.m. – “The Barstool Sports Advisors”
This show will be hosted by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and Barstool personalities Daniel “Big Cat” Katz, Stu “The Source” Feiner, and PFT Commenter. A little history—Feiner was the first bettor at Dover Downs in Delaware back in June. NJ Sportsbooks are dying for immediate access to the young base of sports bettors who digest all info via mobile. Barstool is the #1 outlet in America to reach that audience.

This will be a two-hour studio show hosted by Lisa Kerney, a former energetic SportsCenter anchor who may be one of the most attractive women on TV today. On the show you can expect to see “a mix of football news, sports betting information, fantasy news, and live data integration.” Also, it will “translate the news of the day into actionable items for NJ sports betting and fantasy consumers.”

“More Ways” will also include live reports from the FanDuel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands Racetrack, which is located right across the way from MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Jets and Giants.
Dani Klupenger will provide the latest sports news, Jason McIntyre, host of Fox Sports 1’s “Speak for Yourself,” will provide betting analysis. Dave Weaver of TVG will be reporting live from FanDuel Sportsbook, and lastly, Brandon Funston, formerly of Yahoo Sports, currently with The Athletic, offering fantasy sports insights.
Lisa Kerney Brings The Views For FanDuel
Hiring Lisa Kerney as a very smart decision by FanDuel. Kerney brings immediate legitimacy to the show with her ESPN experience, along with her extensive knowledge of sports…..but let’s be real here for a minute….Lisa Kerney is a very attractive woman who will pull in the exact demo FanDuel is looking to gain.
Lisa is extremely active on Instagram as well, posting the occasional bikini pic and behind the scenes footbage that her fans love.
FanDuel Sports Betting Success
William Hill NJ Sportsbook was out of the gate first in NJ at Monmouth Park. DraftKings was the first legal online sports betting platform in New Jersey back in August. Quietly, FanDuel had their head down creating an industry best betting platform and content stream.
“The integration of fantasy and sports betting content into our television assets provides a unique, unmatched marketing platform for the FanDuel Group,” said Kip Levin, CEO of TVG and COO of FanDuel Group, in a statement.
Horse Racing and Sports Betting Collide
Partnering with TVG will also attract the traditional horse racing bettors, who have some deep pockets, to sports betting in general. “Our goal is that “More Ways to Win” will revolutionize sports betting news and information in the same way that CNBC changed television coverage of the stock market,” said TVG executive Kevin Grigsby, who will serve as executive producer of the show.
All of TVG and TVG2 channels will be available to about 60 million homes, using Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and Roku via their new Watch TVG app.
Fox Sports 1 Sports Betting Content
Fox Sports 1 also has a weekday daily gambling show on Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET, with host Rachel Bonnetta, Clay Travis, “Cousin” Sal Iacano, and Todd Fuhrman on the one-hour broadcast.

FOX had been rumored to have sports gambling show in the works with Brent Musberger and Charissa Thompson, but negotiations with Musberger have reportedly hit a snag.
As evidenced by this new deal, the sports betting bonanza from opening new casinos to television deals will not cease any time soon.
