Rush Street Interactive has announced the renewal of its exclusive multi-year agreement with New York sports broadcasting legend Mike Francesa.
“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.”
Francesa is a Radio Hall of Famer with a career spanning over three decades in sports radio, from his years co-hosting the “Mike and the Mad Dog” program on WFAN to his decade at CBS Sports as a studio analyst. His accolades include multiple wins of the Marconi Award as ‘Major Market Personality of the Year’.
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.”
