NBA 2K League And Dash Radio Announce Multiyear Relationship

On Wednesday, Dash Radio and NBA 2K League announced a multiyear relationship that will produce multiple pieces of regular 2K-League-focused programming. Dash’s Nothin’ But Net channel will launch the first digital radio livestream of NBA 2K League games beginning Tuesday, June 30.

The second aspect of the deal, which was designed to facilitate NBN’s league coverage across its channel, will be a weekly one-hour show every Wednesday and Thursday. That program will be hosted by Aaron Groshong, and it will be called The NBA 2K League Show. NBN will also carry live post-game shows, which will also be hosted by Groshong and Kevin Draves. That leg of the content will be titled NBA 2K League GGs.

Both programs will feature player interviews, as well as spots with league personnel and personalities.

Representatives from each brand offered comment via a press release provided to me prior to release of the information.

“We are excited to announce this partnership and think the synergies between Dash Radio and the NBA 2K League create an extremely compelling and original way for consumers to place themselves at the intersection of sports, gaming culture, and music” said DJ Skee, Founder, Dash Radio.

Skee, aka Scott Keeney has led Dash to tremendous growth since founding the network in 2015. Skee has also launched his own one-hour program on Fuse called Skee TV.

Today is a culmination of our collective efforts to support eSports and the NBA 2K League,” said Nothin’ But Net Founder and Host, Aaron Groshong.

According to the press release, Dash has 12 million consumers currently, which will provide a new host of fans who can be introduced or further informed about the NBA 2K League.
