The podcast pontification proceeds. “The Sports Pope,” Mike Francesa has renewed his partnership with BetRivers.
Under the new multi-year agreement, Francesa will continue to produce exclusive network and social media content, including a new daily YouTube program, “The Mike Francesa Podcast,” where the veteran sports talker will offer insights and analysis on breaking news stories and game reactions. Francesa will also produce a series of digital videos featured on the BetRivers platform and make personal appearances in BetRivers markets on the East Coast.
Francesa, who enjoyed a long career in afternoons on WFAN New York (660/101.9), signed on as a brand ambassador for BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse in March 2022. The exclusive brand and content deal included Francesa anchoring a twice-weekly podcast and hosting a series of digital videos on the sports betting outlets’ various platforms.
Dubbed “The Sports Pope,” Francesa was inducted into the Radio Hall Of Fame in 2018. He is the only sportscaster to win the National Association of Broadcasters’ Marconi Award for “Large Market Personality of the Year” twice.
