Sports X Radio
Sports X Radio evolved from Sports Executives shows that Ken Thomson and Chuck Edel had done together for over 10 years. Over the years it has become one of the most talked about shows in Vegas. Sports X Radio is currently working to capitalize on the solid foundation in what has become one of the greatest sports cities in the United States, that being Las Vegas. With the inception of the Vegas Golden Knights, NHL hockey team, and the NFL’s Raiders announcing their decision to move the team to Las Vegas in 2020, Ken is perfectly situated to exceed the expectations of his sponsors. Ken is well connected to the Raider fraternity including both former and current players and management, as well as, the iconic Raider fan base. Together with some of the most prestigious guests, Ken Thomson the host of Sports X Radio, provides some of the most in depth sports knowledge, especially when it comes to sports gaming and as Ken calls it, the game within the game.

“Our Friday night shows are my favorites. My partner for over ten years, Chuck Edel and I, break down all the games for the weekend. Football season is the best and somehow we are able to touch on every game, both College & Pro in scheduling order. With the show originating in Vegas, I try to blend top line interviews and sports information with a slight dash of Las Vegas line flavor.”

Have grown up around sports betting, Chuck began looking at sports in a different perspective. “Rather than going to college, I bet on sports to make a living.”In 1992 he moved to Las Vegas and started betting on sports full time.
