LAS VEGAS, June 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VSiN (Vegas Stats & Information Network), the first media network dedicated to sports gambling information, today announced a partnership with former CBS Radio CEO Dan Mason, who will join VSiN as Strategic Advisor and Investor participating in all aspects of the company’s operations.
VSiN Founder and Chairman Brian Musburger said, “With decades of experience in the media industry, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. We are excited to leverage his expertise to drive continued growth at VSiN, capitalizing on the incredible opportunity presented by the burgeoning sports gambling industry. His overall enthusiasm for our product brings an energy level to the room that is contagious.”
Mason added, “Brian, [COO] Bill Adee and the VSiN team are really on to something unique here. Coming from the programming side of the business, you can sense when you have a hit on your hands and that is what we have here. I’m excited and eager to help the team shape the product going forward. I’m especially excited to introduce our betting information to terrestrial radio and shape how it can be staged to the sports radio audience.”
Mason was inducted into The National Radio Hall of Fame in 2015 upon his retirement from CBS Radio, where he was President and CEO for more than 15 years.
