Things have been going smooth for Washington sports betting since it launched and things are only going to get better in the near future. With us being in the heart of the football season, you know people are fired up about all of the betting action. But, are you looking for some help before getting your wagers in? Well, we’ve got some good news for you, as a new sports betting radio network made its way to Washington.
That’s right, it has been announced that Hubbard Radio has brought the Sports Betting network on 98.9 KNUC-HD2 to Seattle. It goes without saying, but this is massive news. Normally, people would tune into 93.3 FM for the KJR Sports Radio shows, with KJR being a popular fixture all over Seattle. However, Hubbard Radio will be providing local sports fans with fantastic betting content.
“VSiN, The Sports Betting Network (“VSiN”) and Hubbard Radio Seattle are teaming up to bring sports betting content to the nation’s 12th largest radio market,” the company said in a press release. “With this and other recent affiliate additions in Dallas, Kansas City, Providence, Rochester and Honolulu, VSiN content currently airs on more than 140 terrestrial radio stations in 33 states nationwide, including both long form content clearance and Brent Musburger’s Action Updates.”
Seattle is a major city in the USA, featuring pro teams like the Seahawks, Sounders, Mariners, Kraken and Storm. The market is there for the taking, which is something VSiN and Hubbard Radio have spotted. They’re sure to make quite an impact on people in Washington who are die-hard bettors. This feels like a home-run decision and we could see the rating be high here from the start.

Football betting continues to be on the rise in Washington
One thing that should excite the people over at Hubbard Radio Seattle is that football betting continues to be on the rise in Washington. Because of this, it’d be a great time for this new sports betting radio network to get things rocking on a consistent basis. Starting with the Seahawks, the team’s supporters are always going to be checking the NFL betting odds to see where things stand for them.
Unfortunately for the Seahawks, they’ve suffered some rough losses of late, which includes defeats to the Buccaneers and Raiders. In Week 12, Seattle was favored to beat Las Vegas, but they lost on a Josh Jacobs walk-off touchdown run. That was an 86-yarder that broke countless hearts all over Seattle. After the defeat, people tuned into KJR to hear commentary on the brutal defeat.
Moving forward, after a win or loss, people will be able to tune into the Hubbard Radio Seattle sports betting station to hear thoughts on the game. The Seahawks are surely going to be a team people will want to hear about. Not only that, but the NCAAF betting odds are also something people in Washington will closely monitor because of the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars.
The two Pac-12 teams faced off in the annual Apple Cup, with UW winning 51-33. Now, both teams will focus on bowl season, with the Huskies potentially heading to the Rose Bowl. It will all depend on what happens in the Pac-12 title game. With bowl season coming next month and early January, fans will need all the help they can get before making bets. This will be another area where the new betting station can help out a ton of people.

This new sports betting station will win over countless people in Washington
Right now, the expectation is that this new sports betting station will win over countless people in Washington. What makes things standout here is that there are no other primary sports betting networks in Washington and Seattle. For as big of a market that Seattle is, that is hard to believe. However, Hubbard is really making a splash with its decision, and people are already jacked up about it.
“Whether sharp bettors or brand new to sports betting action, VSiN content will deliver real-time, actionable sports betting content to listeners,” the company added in its release. “Its team of sports betting experts set the stage for the day’s biggest sports betting events and share expert tips and predictions across sports, including college and pro football, college and pro basketball, hockey, baseball, golf, tennis and more.”
Don’t forget that golf is also massive in the Seattle area, with huge tournaments often making its way to the area. This will give people all the more reason to not only check out golf betting odds to make bets, but also to listen to the betting radio network leading up to said events.
All in all, Hubbard Radio and VSiN have done their research and agreed that the market value in Seattle sure is high right now, which is why bringing in this network could prove to be a brilliant decision. With so much sports popularity in the state, this may not be the last sports betting radio network we see arrive. Keep your eyes on this moving forward.
