NASHVILLE, Tenn. — AtoZ Sports, the Nashville-based sports media network founded by Austin Stanley and Zach Bingham, is expanding its sports coverage from eight markets to 13 NFL markets beginning August 4, 2022.

The new AtoZ Sports cities include Buffalo, Denver, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Philadelphia. They join AtoZ’s existing eight markets: Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Green Bay, Kansas City, Nashville (flagship), Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay.

“With this being our third expansion within the last twelve months, it’s been exhilarating and challenging to see AtoZ grow from a local Nashville brand to a national brand across the country,” said Stanley. “We can’t wait to dive into one of the most anticipated NFL seasons ever with AtoZ covering over a third of the league.”

Additionally, AtoZ Sports has acquired NO FLAGS FILMS’ YouTube channel. The channel provides audiences in-depth film analysis unavailable on game broadcasts and sports talk shows. The company is rebranding the channel to AtoZ Sports Film Room, providing viewers access to film breakdowns of their favorite NFL teams within the AtoZ network, including every Titans game, the All-22 film library and the NFL Draft Guide, alongside long-form film breakdowns.

"All our expanding digital features heading into the 2022 football season are here to create an even bigger AtoZ Sports community," adds Bingham. “We're not slowing down and  continue to evolve our business within the sports digital media space.”

AtoZ's expansion extends to its staff by increasing 11 roles within the company, including six new full-time employees across sales, marketing, broadcast and online. Positions include a full-time Dallas-based sales manager, hires doubling AtoZ’s Nashville Predators’ coverage team and creating a Spanish language coverage broadcast platform based in Mexico.

This round of expansion began in early July when Patrick McAbee joined as the full-time Dallas sales manager.

The website team, under managing editor Evan Winter, is adding several full-time writers and writers who are expanding their roles. Justin Churchill, Adam Holt, and Mauricio Rodriguez join Zach Ragan as full-time NFL Writers. Rodriguez will continue to host his AtoZ Sports Dallas Primetime streaming show Sunday through Thursday nights at 8pm CT. The company has already announced the addition of Sam Phalen as the new Tennessee Titans beat reporter. Jack Gentry, of the Titan Up Podcast, and Ian Kayanja, AtoZ's Dallas Mavericks reporter, are also seeing their NFL writing roles expand.

The social media team, under manager Jake Evans, is also expanding with the addition of video producer Reid Besch. Besch has played the role as "Producer Reid" on Buck Reising's AtoZ Sports Nashville Primetimestreaming show for the last few years. James Foster, formerly of No Flags Film will be the voice and mind of AtoZ Sports Film Room. Parker Moesley will continue to grow within social media creation team, along with Holt.

AtoZ's creative image will continue to improve with the increased role of Alex "Sosa" Hernandez as the company's graphic designer. Sosa has improved the overall look of the company since joining the team last August.

The final new addition of the content team is Shaun Smith who joins Alex Daugherty for AtoZ's coverage of the Nashville Predators. Smith has covered the Preds for several years and joined Daugherty this past season as co-host of the On the Preds Podcast. The new Preds duo will make the coverage of Nashville's hockey team more dynamic.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jesse Holley is set to return for his second season of Cowboy Game Day LIVE as co-host, with AtoZ Sports Dallas' Will Steele, for pregame, halftime, and postgame shows for every Cowboys game this season. Earlier this summer Steele and AtoZ agreed upon a contract extension, who has become a fast rising voice for Cowboys content across the country.
