LAS VEGAS, Aug. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) (NYSE: GTN) today announced that BEAT THE ODDS, a 30-minute weekly syndicated sports betting and entertainment television series, will debut on more than 100 Gray Television channels beginning September 2, 2022.
BEAT THE ODDS will feature news, data and analysis mixed with legendary sports and betting stories, all designed to inform and entertain bettors and sports fans of all levels. The show combines expert opinion from nationally known analysts with stories drawn from sports and betting history, focusing on iconic wins, memorable surprises, bad beats and tales of odds makers and risk takers.
FOX5 KVVU-TV in Las Vegas will be working with Emmy Award-winning production company Tupelo Media to produce the weekly program. Gray owns both FOX5 KVVU and Tupelo Media Group (formerly known as Tupelo Honey).
“BEAT THE ODDS showcases two of the most popular aspects of esports to the public: betting analysis and compelling storytelling,” said Michael Korr, vice president and general manager of FOX5.
Veteran FOX5 news anchor Dave Hall will serve as presenter for BEAT THE ODDS. Joining him in the studio are veteran handicappers Jack Ross (aka “Fat Jack”) and Ted Sevransky (aka “Teddy Covers”), along with Super Bowl champion Brandon Marshall and itinerant reporter Mariah Janos.
Jack Ross has been a leading sports analyst for 20 years. His national weekly radio show, The Fat Jack Sports Hour, can be heard on stations across the United States. He is also a regular contributor to SIRIUS XM. Ted Sevransky, known as “Teddy Covers,” is a professional sports bettor and radio and television analyst who is regularly featured on WagerTalk.com. Brandon Marshall won his ring at Super Bowl 50 as a linebacker playing for the Denver Broncos when they defeated the New England Patriots.
“BEAT THE ODDS is a different kind of sports betting show,” said Cary Glotzer, CEO of Tupelo Media Group. “It will provide sports bettors with top-notch analysis and information, and it will be very entertaining, with coverage of sports history and how sport influences culture. That’s why we developed the show – to create a format that really appeals to sports and betting fans.”
