Vox Media’s sports site SB Nation and Gow Media, a Houston-based sports media firm, today announced a partnership to create SB Nation Radio, which will begin streaming across a variety of mobile and digital platforms starting August 1. In the joint venture, SB Nation and Gow Media will produce and distribute original audio content including podcasts and on-air show formats.
If you want to view the shift through the lens of the rise and fall of media brands, the network in question used to be known as Sporting News Radio and, since 2011, has been known as Yahoo Sports Radio.
SB Nation is also the first Vox brand to expand into radio. “The creation of SB Nation Radio is an exciting extension for the SB Nation brand, and the reach of our community of reporters and fans, to a new platform that is such a natural fit for sports coverage and commentary,” said Kevin Lockland, SB Nation vice president of editorial operations, in a statement.
Vox and Gow plan to incorporate their SB Nation editorial talent into its audio programming, including national voices Spencer Hall, Paul Flannery and Dan Rubenstein, and Ariel Helwani. The content will be available across SB Nation’s community of over 300 digital properties and Gow Media’s 500-plus radio station affiliates.
Looking forward to having @arielhelwani on the show here in Vegas soon. https://t.co/HjnibWToL5

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Excellent work!
Virtually all of whatever you claim happens to be supprisingly legitimate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. This piece really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this topic goes. However at this time there is one issue I am not really too comfortable with and while I try to reconcile that with the main theme of your point, permit me observe exactly what the rest of your readers have to point out.Nicely done.
Excellent weblog here! Additionally your web site quite a bit up very fast! What web host are you the use of? Can I am getting your associate hyperlink for your host? I want my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol
