With the end of the 2022 calendar year fast approaching, the WorkInSports Podcast is bringing back some of its most impactful sports career advice from the past 12 months to help you start your job search with confidence in 2023.
The sports betting industry has exploded since the federal ban on sports gambling was lifted in 2018. Americans wagered $52.7 billion on sports in 2021, and with that amount of money flowing in, jobs to manage and grow the industry have followed.
As newsrooms at traditional media outlets downsized over the past decade (which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic), laid-off journalists found they could use their talents to transition seamlessly into sports betting content jobs. For example, in 2017, iconic college football announcer Brent Musburger launched the Vegas Stats and Information Network (VSiN), and in five years, it has become a hub of sports betting content. One of the laid-off journalists from legacy media who found a home with VSiN is Femi Abebefe, who joined the network in 2021 after he got let go from his position as a sports anchor with Seattle’s KOMO TV.
In today’s episode of the WorkInSports Podcast, we revisit VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp’s conversation with Abebefe as the two talk about:
- The importance of his early career years at KTVZ
- How he dealt with being laid off at KOMO during the pandemic
- What working for a sports betting company like VSiN is like
- How to get a job in sports betting
