"We’re excited to bring Better Collective’s best-in-class content and podcasts to the Blue Wire Network and work with a partner that understands the modern sports media and gaming space."
Rovell has been with Action Network since 2018, after leaving ESPN.
Rovell's "Sources inside Bristol say Matt Vasgersian is out of Sunday Night Baseball" drew comment, as Marchand reported that (with a quote from Vasgersian himself) more than two weeks ago.
It's one of those classic "multi-platform content partnerships" you always hear about.
"I want to let you know that there's no hard feelings here."
Action Network brought in around $15 million in revenue last year, but is projecting $40 million in revenue this year.
