VSiN Betting Network Names Steve Cohen EVP/Talent Programming


VSiN, The Sports Betting Network, announces the appointment of long-time media industry executive Steve Cohen as the network’s Executive Vice President, Talent and Programming. 

Cohen spent the last 20 years as the Senior Vice President of Sports Programming at SiriusXM, where he built and oversaw their sports talk radio stations, including channels done in collaboration with all professional sports leagues. He will join VSiN leadership in working to rapidly expand sponsorship, distribution, and audience, while continuing to deliver the most credible content sports bettors can find anywhere.

“With more than 37 years under his belt, Steve is one of the most respected and innovative executives in the media business and was key in VSiN’s original launch on SiriusXM,” said VSiN Founder, Brian Musburger. “Having launched more than a dozen sports talk radio stations, including SiriusXM NFL Radio and Mad Dog Sports Radio following a successful 17-year career in terrestrial radio, it’s hard to find a media leader with more experience giving an audience exactly what they’re looking for. He is a beloved manager with a track record of getting the best out of talent and a unique understanding of the importance of unbiased, credible information for sports bettors.”

With a focus on delivering superior sports betting programming, Cohen will identify new talent, strengthen the network’s lineup, and create additional content for broader distribution. The network will leverage his decades of experience across sports and media channels to support VSiN’s mission of delivering sports news, analysis and insights that bettors use to help make more informed betting decisions.

“Since I first met the team back in 2015, I’ve known that they were building something special,” said Cohen. “I’m excited to join a group that has always been at the forefront of the sports betting industry and look forward to the opportunity to leverage my experience creating content across every sport and medium to deliver an exceptional product that satisfies the content needs of all sports fans, especially those who wager on sports.”

Cohen joined SiriusXM in 2004 and, as Senior Vice President of Sports Programming, he built and oversaw the company’s sports news and talk programs on all of SiriusXM’s sports channels, including the hiring of talent, show development and production. 

Before joining SiriusXM, Cohen worked at WFAN Sports Radio in New York, where he served as the Executive Producer for both the New York Jets Radio Network and New York Giants Radio Network.
