Sports reporter Stormy Buonantony joins VSiN, full schedule released

Monday, September 13, 2021 6:52 PM

A few days after VSiN (Vegas Sports & Information Network) announced a content distribution deal with YouTube TV to deliver sports betting news, analysis and insights, the DraftKings subsidiary has released its full schedule.

In addition to current shows hosted by or featuring former NFL GM Michael Lombardi, former NFL quarterback Shaun King, and legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger, the new programming draws from a cross-section of reporters and industry veterans.

Notable is the appointment of Stormy Buonantony as host of My Guys in the Desert, VSiN’s flagship afternoon drive-time show airing weekdays. Most recently a rink-side reporter for AT&T Sportsnet covering the Vegas Golden Knights, Buonantony also has worked for ESPN’s SEC Network, Raycom Sports and the Mountain West Network, and guest hosted on VSiN.

“I’ve always joked that I grew up in a household where it didn’t matter who won or lost the game but rather by how many points they won or lost,” Buonantony said in a statement. “This represents a special opportunity for me to combine my personal and professional backgrounds in my hometown of Las Vegas on a network committed to providing the best sports betting analysis out there.”

Other notable additions to VSiN’s schedule:

  • Femi Abebefe will host Point Spread Saturday, Point Spread Sunday and The Pre-Game Show on weekend mornings. Abebefe most recently worked at KOMO 4 TV in Seattle.
  • Betting Across America on Saturdays and The Green Zone on Sundays will be hosted by Dave Ross, who has worked for the Stadium network in Chicago and FOX 5 in Washington D.C.
  • Scott Seidenberg will host The Lookahead overnights from Circa Resort and Casino’s 24-hour sportsbook in Las Vegas. Seidenberg previously hosted nationally syndicated programs for ESPN Radio and NBC Sports Radio.

“VSiN has assembled a powerhouse of betting experts that will continue to deliver entertaining and authentic content across every major sport 24/7 and will solidify VSiN’s standing as the trusted authority in sports betting news, information and analysis,” said DraftKings Chief Media Officer Brian Angiolet in a statement. “I believe that this new lineup will quickly connect with our millions of customers by providing unique and diverse perspectives as we continue to expand our broadcasting footprint.”

VSiN programming is available as part of YouTube TV’s Sports Plus add-on package.
