Westwood One and Audacy are set to rebrand the Infinity Sports Network as Westwood One Sports starting on December 29, 2025. This rebranding cements both companies as leaders in national sports audio, providing 24/7 sports programming with live coverage, expert commentary, and real-time updates to millions of listeners.
The collaboration between Westwood One and Audacy, which began in 2012 with CBS Sports Radio, will see Westwood One taking over programming and distribution for much of the syndicated sports lineup.
This includes the popular “The Jim Rome Show,” which airs weekdays from 3 PM – 6 PM ET. Audacy will continue to produce BetMGM Network shows such as “You Better You Bet” (9 AM – 12 PM ET), “BetMGM Tonight” (6 PM – 11 PM ET), and additional weekend programming under the Westwood One Sports banner. BetMGM will remain a key partner and exclusive sportsbook sponsor for these shows.
In addition to its daily programming, Westwood One Sports will continue its longstanding play-by-play coverage of major sports events, including the NFL, NCAA, and U.S. Soccer.
Audacy, with its iconic sports stations across the U.S., has partnerships with top teams like the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Eagles, and Golden State Warriors, further solidifying its presence as a dominant force in sports radio.
This expanded partnership brings substantial benefits to advertisers, offering unparalleled reach and premium ad opportunities.
Affiliates will gain access to a larger content roster, greater brand visibility, and Westwood One’s marketing resources, all of which contribute to stronger audience engagement and increased revenue potential.
Audacy and Westwood One’s continued collaboration in sports content, both locally and nationally, aims to enhance their leadership position in the industry by offering content across various platforms, including digital and streaming on the Audacy app, Westwood One’s platforms, and podcasts.
This digital-first approach broadens monetization avenues and provides advertisers new ways to reach listeners across multiple channels.
