94.9 The Fan will feature Nashville’s first real-time sports betting news and analysis, with coverage of every major sport coming from Vegas Sports Information Network (VSiN), The Sports Betting Network.
“The type of exciting sports content offered on 94.9 The Fan is not only unique by design; it’s the perfect complement to the live and local sports talk programming offered on sister station ESPN 102.5 The Game,” said Cromwell Media VP/Market Manager Dennis Gwiazdon.
“We now offer a ‘one-stop shop’ for all types of sports fans and sports bettors who want only the best local and national sports talk along with live sports broadcasts that include the Nashville Predators, the Nashville Sounds, MTSU football and men’s basketball, NASCAR, the Music City Grand Prix and much more.”
94.9 The Fan’s new weekday primetime lineup includes shows such as Follow the Money with Mitch Moss & Pauly Howard, The Dan Patrick Show, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, and OutKick 360 with Chad Withrow, Jonathan Hutton and Paul Kuharsky, among others.
Program Director Chase McCabe commented: “One of my goals as the new PD was to figure out a way to add OutKick 360 to our talented lineup.
“Re-imagining 94.9 as ‘The Fan’ made that possible because not only do we add three voices that Nashville knows, but we are able to bring Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd back to the Music City while at the same time continuing to foster the growth of sports betting talk with VSiN. It’s a huge win for us and for our city.”
Acquired by DraftKings in March 2021, VSiN delivers real-time sports betting content, offering analysis from some of the industry’s leading personalities across sports like college and pro football and basketball, baseball, golf, and tennis among others.
