The Barstool Sports Advisors will lead in to TVG's newest studio show, More Ways to Win, which will premiere Sunday, September 9 at 11 AM ET. The live two-hour studio show, hosted by former ESPN and SportsCenter anchor Lisa Kerney, will prepare viewers for Sunday's games and races with a mix of football news, sports betting information, fantasy news, and live data integration all in one program. More Ways to Win will translate the news of the day into actionable items for sports betting and fantasy consumers. In another groundbreaking move, More Ways to Win will feature live reports from the FanDuel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey, putting viewers at the center of the action at the only US sportsbook next to a professional football stadium. Additionally, the show will include horse racing from the biggest tracks in the United States, with TVG experts providing commentary.
Kerney will host More Ways to Win, quarterbacking an experienced team of sports experts. Dani Klupenger, a seasoned football host and sideline reporter, will keep viewers up to date on the latest news and Fox Sports 1's Jason McIntyre will provide analysis and sports betting information that every sports fan will need for the day. TVG's Dave Weaver will report live from the FanDuel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands Racetrack, and Brandon Funston of The Athletic will provide fantasy news and insights.
"Our goal is that More Ways to Win will revolutionize sports betting news and information in the same way CNBC changed television coverage of the stock market," said Kevin Grigsby, Executive Producer of More Ways to Win and Senior Vice President of Content Development at TVG. "TVG's proven experience with live sports programming, along with our world-class cast of talent will make More Ways to Win an innovative Sunday offering for any sports fan waiting for kickoff."
