Brad Evans Brings the Noise to Westwood One: The ISN Shuttering & Wagertainment

As the legacy sports radio landscape undergoes a seismic shift, Callan McClurg and Nick Morgasen sit down with one of the few voices to successfully navigate the jump into the next era. Joining us at the desk is FSWA Hall of Famer Brad Evans ("The Big Noise"), host of BetMGM Tonight on the newly launched Westwood One Sports. Brad provides a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the December 29th transition that saw the "shuttering" of the Infinity Sports Network (ISN) and the birth of a gambling-first national platform. We dive into the internal vibe of that dismantling, the departure of legacy talent like Zach Gelb and Bart Winkler, and the high-stakes reality of modern sports media. INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS: The Dismantling of a National Institution: Brad discusses what it was like on the inside as ISN was rebranded and reorganized to make room for the new Westwood One Sports lineup. The "Wagertainment" Identity: How do you keep a show authentic for the "traditional" fan when the network is built on a gambling-first foundation? Brad breaks down his strategy for "infotainment" over spreadsheets. Following The Jungle: Brad discusses the unique challenge of following the legendary Jim Rome on the national feed. Are traditional "take" artists an endangered species in a world dominated by the "sweat"? The Legal Frontier: With prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket facing regulatory wars in Nevada, Brad explores the "Huevos" strategy of navigating the legal side of betting as a media personality.
