Atlantic City’s Ocean Resort casino and Vegas Stats & Information Network are teaming up to launch live studio broadcasts from the resort.
According to a press release, former NFL executive and Ocean City New Jersey native Mike Lombardi and VSiN host Jonathan Von Tobel will anchor the 10 a.m. broadcasts live Saturday and Sunday mornings from the William Hill Sports Book at Ocean Resort.
The VSiN network, which features legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger, was created by his nephew, Brian Musburger, and brother, Todd Musburger last year. The network is based at South Point casino in Las Vegas, where a special studio was build adjacent to the sports book.
“Our goal for the William Hill Sports Book at Ocean Resort Casino is to maintain its status as the new epicenter for sports betting on the East Coast,” said Ocean Resort Casino owner Bruce Deifik in a press release. “So, to be able to enhance that reputation by partnering with broadcast pioneer VSiN and esteemed industry leaders Brent and Brian Musburger was an easy and exciting decision for us to make.”
VSiN is financially backed by former Philadelphia Phillies All-Star Ryan Howard and his venture capital firm, SeventySix Capital.
“As sports betting legalization continues to expand across the country, VSiN will be where it needs to be to cover these markets,” said VSiN CEO Brian Musburger in the release. “Bruce Deifik’s Ocean Resort has made a significant commitment to the sports betting scene in New Jersey by opening the most impressive sports book in Atlantic City.”
