Dianna Russini is reportedly working to secure credentials for Super Bowl Radio Row, with her plans involving changing which sponsorship affiliation she relies on. Multiple outlets describe concerns tied to her association with BetUS and her efforts to return to NFL coverage.
Front Office Sports reports that some NFL teams flag her BetUS connection as a problem when considering credentials. NDTV, meanwhile, says Russini intends to distance herself from BetUS by using her iHeart affiliation instead, positioning that relationship as the basis for access as she pursues NFL-related work around the Super Bowl.
The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: Front Office Sports spotlights the teams’ reservations about the BetUS link, while NDTV focuses on Russini’s reported response—shifting to iHeart to address credentialing concerns. Both accounts center on the credential request for Super Bowl media access and the role of sponsorship affiliations in how it is reviewed.
