Des Moines will be one of nine cities to have a new sports betting digital TV network when it launches on Wednesday, Sept. 1.
Nexstar and SportsGrid Inc. are launching SportsGrid Network as an extension of a streaming video service launched last year. Nexstar’s news release says the network will be carried on an unspecified channel in Des Moines, where it owns WHO-DT/13.
SportsGrid Network is described as “the nation’s first and only 24-hour sports wagering and fantasy sports program service.” It features 18 hours of live programming daily.
Other markets that will have the network at launch include San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Portland, Nashville, Norfolk, Grand Rapids, and Knoxville.
