Gray Television said that it is launching Beat The Odds, a weekly sports betting series, on 100 of its stations starting September 2.

The series is being produced by Gray’s Las Vegas station KVVU-TV and its Tupelo Media production company and comes at a time when sports betting is becoming one of the fastest-growing TV advertising categories as wagering becomes legal in more states.

“Beat the Odds is a different type of sports betting show,” said Tupelo Media Group CEO Cary Glotzer. “It will give sports bettors top-notch analysis and information, and it’ll be very entertaining, with features on sports history and how sports influence culture. It’s why we developed the show – to create a format that really engages sports and betting fans.”

The show’s executive producers are Korr, Glotzer, and Tupelo Media Group CTO John Servizzi. ■
