Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), a leading
US-based betting and gaming company, proudly announces the renewal
of its exclusive multi-year agreement with none other than New York
sports broadcasting legend, Mike Francesa. The renewal solidifies
Francesa's ongoing commitment to BetRivers.
"I'm thrilled to
continue my partnership with BetRivers, which in my opinion offers
the best online sportsbook in the industry," expressed Francesa.
"Joining forces with the RSI team enables me to connect with fans
in exciting and easily accessible ways, while providing my insight
and instant reaction to the biggest games to audiences not only in
New York but across BetRivers markets nationwide."
A Radio Hall of Famer
with a career spanning over three decades, Francesa has been a
household name in New York sports radio. From his groundbreaking
years co-hosting the legendary "Mike and the Mad Dog" program on
WFAN to his decade at CBS Sports as a studio analyst, Francesa's
influence on sports broadcasting is unparalleled. His accolades
include multiple wins of the prestigious Marconi Award as 'Major
Market Personality of the Year,' a testament to his enduring impact
on the industry.
Under this renewed
partnership, Francesa will continue to serve exclusively to
BetRivers as a provider of network and social media content.
Operating from his hometown of New York City, Francesa will host a
new daily show on YouTube on “The Mike Francesa Podcast” channel,
offering expert insights and analysis on breaking news stories and
game reactions. Additionally, he will produce a series of digital
videos featured on the BetRivers platform, enriching the betting
experience for sports enthusiasts nationwide. He will also meet and
greet BetRivers customers in personal appearances in BetRivers
markets on the east coast.
Richard Schwartz, CEO
of RSI, shared his enthusiasm about the renewed collaboration,
stating, "We are delighted to have Mike Francesa, the undisputed
'King of New York' radio, renew his partnership with our BetRivers
family of Brand Ambassadors. Our BetRivers audience will now be
able to see and hear Mike every weekday! Our customers tell us that
his passion for sports, along with the stories Mike shares from
when he worked with Jimmy the Greek, add a new level of fun to
their betting experiences, further solidifying RSI’s dedication to
providing top tier sportsbook entertainment."
