FanDuel is growing its TV network.
Michelle Beadle, Shams Charania and Chandler Parsons will be doing a show for the sportsbook’s linear TV channel three days a week, The Post has learned.
“Run It Back” will air Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. on FanDuel TV, which is formerly TVG. The show will be produced by Eddie Gonzalez, who will be on-air as well. Beadle and Parsons will discuss the latest NBA news, while Charania will contribute with insider information.
While there have been talks about insiders like Adam Schefter or Adrian Wojnowarski working with or for sports gambling sites, Charania is the first news breaker-type of this ilk to align with one. Charania also works for Stadium and the New York Times-owned Athletic.
Michelle Beadle previously hosted “NBA Countdown” for ESPN.

After taking some time away for what she called a “break break” from the business, she launched a podcast with The Athletic late last year.
The 33-year-old Parsons played in the NBA for the Rockets, Mavericks, Grizzlies and briefly the Hawks from the 2011-12 season through 2019-20. He retired from the NBA after he suffered serious injuries in a car accident in which he was hit by a drunk driver.

Chandler Parsons retired from the NBA in 2020. NBAE via Getty ImagesFanDuel recently rebranded the TVG horse racing network into FanDuel TV, a hybrid between horseracing and sports talk studio content. The network launched the show “Up and Adams” with former NFL Network host Kay Adams last month.
There have been reports that FanDuel TV will also pursue live rights for niche sports, in which there would be a synergy between what is airing and what users can bet on in their sportsbook app.
