Did VSIN Abandon their Subscription Model?

I notice they have expanded their broadcast day of live programming greatly, and they are broadcasting at least one of their shows, Follow The Money, on 2 TV Networks, NESN, and MSG. I also am watching a live broadcast on their website currently.
If so, that's a good move in all regards.

Makes sense as there will be more of these types of shows. They may as well grab the best stations for max exposure.

they have some good shows and i do listen daily in the car. I did have an eye roll moment last week when i turned on a show and the host was talking about reverse line movement and traps and lookahead sports and i was like ughhh, here we go. It was someone new to them I hadn't heard him yet. Its good background noise other than typical sports radio

Cokin is great sports betting radio. One of the best. A Wikipedia of sports knowledge with some great old school stories when he booked back East. I really can't think of anyone better. Fezzik would be honorable mention. I wonder if Fezzik is contractually barred (Fox) from appearing on VSIN? I've never heard him.

I don't know why they think anyone would want to see any of them. The content is to be heard, not seen. Selling video was doomed from the start.

I never knew Fox had a show, but I would imagine that he couldn’t go on a competitors show. ESPN doesn’t allow it.

Cokin for baseball yes. College football maybe.

Fezzik I have to completely disagree with you. He has some elementary thoughts after listening to him on the daily radio show and the podcasts. His insight is near zero to what you wouldn't find from a drunk at a dive bar. He gives a reason, RJ Bell will question him and literally in 2 seconds Fezzik will pull back from his position.

It was comical for a while but it's really annoying now as Fezzik appears to put zero time in his breakdown and analysis even after being busted up by Randall repeatedly over the years. You would think it would make him have solid reasoning for a lean or a like yet this hasn't happened.

Fezzik take the beating from RJ because his salary clearly is what he is working for as being a family man doesn't allow for him to have the time to run around town betting bad prop bets anymore.

VSIN timed the betting market beautifully anticipating a favorable SCOTUS verdict. They had a public, trustworthy face in Musburger
and they were able to convince Gaughan and South Point what a huge marketing bonanza it would be for them. Meanwhile all the others
like Action Network, Foxbet et al are scrambling to gain credibility with former forum glories and mainstream talking heads trying to sell
picks.

Not a fan of the advertisements.
Pain cream for your back endorsed by Pauly, and manscaping equipment for men, endorsed by Brent, to name two.

Could the bar be any lower?

Got get JK on to give the daily Costa Rica Island report.....”Have pen and paper ready”

Too many damn commercials, must be at least 20 min of every hr, then infomercials like neveragain said.

As soon as I hear Pauly or Mitch say they are going to have “the great” Michael Lombardi on next, I change the channel. If this guy was “great” he’d be in the league making personnel decisions and not on the air talking smack.

Give me Warren Sharp for a hr vs. the “Great” Lombardi. Warren tells you what is going to happen before the game is played, Lombardi tells you what happened.

don't resign you are lookin live musberger... sign JK. Vsin would go thru the roof with JK and the costa rican report. Plus Jk could bring on EOG guests.

I think out of all their shows I enjoy Gil's the best. The golf show with Youmans and Wes Reynolds was good too but they stopped it for the season. I did have a paid sub the second year they were around but did not renew as I really didn't get much from the newsletters and extra content. I get it with my XM radio and also on bushay's nitro tv service

I enjoy Paulie and Mitch, they have great chemistry together.

It would be cool to hear JK on the station in some capacity. Of course, he is the dean of LV broadcasters.

Maybe he has a 20 year non-compete clause with KDWN? LOL

cokin reminds me of Wes Reynolds, 2 guys you would want on your sports trivia team, but both terrible handicappers

Derek Stevens of Circa, etc, is also part owner of VSIN and VSIN will have a studio in the new Circa sportsbook when it opens.
