Vegas. The 1,700-square-foot, state-of-the-art space is set to kick
off operations in August ahead of the 2021 NFL season and will be

"The production and distribution of engaging, 'only at Wynn'
content is an important part of our strategy to build the WynnBET
brand," said Craig Billings,
President of Wynn Interactive. "Our partnership with Blue Wire will
create unique storytelling-based sports content, much of it
produced at Wynn Las Vegas. The onsite studio will energize our
physical sportsbook and promote the WynnBET experience"
In anticipation of the studio's opening, Blue Wire has also
announced that Chris Long and
Cris Carter are now part of
the platform's renowned roster of podcasting talent. Cris Carter, Pro Football Hall of Fame member
and legendary wide receiver, will host a new podcast under the Blue
Wire umbrella called WR1, where he will interview the top receivers
in football. Chris Long, celebrated
former NFL defensive end and global philanthropist, will continue
his wildly popular podcast, Green Light With Chris Long, which will
now be licensed exclusively by Blue Wire and co-produced with his
digital media company, Chalk Media. The partnership with Long was
negotiated between Allied Sports and Blue Wire. WynnBET will serve
as title sponsor for both Carter and Long's programs.
Current Blue Wire headliner, Haley
O'Shaughnessy, co-host of the basketball lifestyle
podcast Spinsters alongside Jordan Ligons, will also maintain a
prominent presence at the studio to deliver her unique perspective
on the week's current events and provide in-depth reporting on
topics that showcase the other side of basketball. New and existing
Blue Wire talent making appearances at the studio will continue to
be announced.
"This partnership gives Blue Wire a national stage inside Wynn
Las Vegas to compete with top publishers in sports and
entertainment," said Blue Wire CEO Kevin
Jones. "We'll continue to work with emerging talent and
create original content from the floor of the resort, becoming an
activation hub for events such as the NBA Summer League, the 2022
NFL Draft, and beyond. We can't wait to start hosting creators,
partners, and fans this August."
The fully customized Blue Wire studio is located inside of Wynn
Las Vegas adjacent to the casino floor, fronted by floor-to-ceiling
glass walls so that fans and resort guests can view recordings and
live events from the public promenade. The sleek space features the
latest technology for audio and video recording, a central set for
four people in front of a 14-foot-high LED video wall, a second
more intimate set for two people, an ultra-plush guest lounge with
dry bar, sports memorabilia display wall, and private green
room.
Design highlights include an interplay of iconic patterns from
the sports world, with large-scale graphic walls featuring stylized
interpretations of basketball court lines, football fields,
baseball diamonds, and soccer fields. Complimenting the basketball
court floor are luxury finishes that take inspiration from classic
materials used in sporting equipment, like rich leather, baseball
stitch accents, ash wood, and slick frosty- hued marble to emulate
the ice in hockey rinks. Completing the effect is a collection of
custom sports-related art and a wall of text that repeats Blue
Wire's core vision and values of Hustle, Innovation, and
Inclusion; and Amplifying Underrepresented Voices In
Sports.
