Yahoo! Sports Radio Launching New Show Live from Las Vegas

Beginning Monday April 7th, Yahoo! Sports Radio will debut Sports X Radio with Ken Thomson. The show will air live weeknights from 10:00pm-1:00am

“As a sports fan, it is personally gratifying to partner with Yahoo! Sports Radio, especially since the Yahoo! Sports app has been my 'go-to' source of sports news for years," said John Caparella, president and COO of The Venetian Las Vegas, The Palazzo and Sands Expo. "Ken Thomson could not be a better fit for The Palazzo and Lagasse Stadium, as he is the definitive expert in meshing sports news with the world of Las Vegas sports betting."

“Our commitment to Las Vegas has never been greater,” said David Gow, CEO of Yahoo! Sports Radio. “This is a wonderful opportunity to broadcast from the premiere casino on the Strip.” YSR added Las Vegas station KMZQ to its list of affiliates in February of 2013 and has been consistently providing fight coverage in The Fight Capital of the World since then.

As of March 2014, Yahoo! Sports Radio can be heard on over 425 stations nationwide. Programming also airs on Sirius/XM channel 208 as well as www.yahoosportsradio.com.
