Why are the local news stations pushing sports gambling so hard? Do they have a financial interest in it?

Nearly postive ads on reddit are unique to the user and largely based on your search history.

Ad money, plus the fact that there genuinely are a lot of sports fans who have been eagerly awaiting this so it is a legitimately pretty big story.

People care A LOT more about sports when they’ve got money on games and sports coverage is a major traffic driver for local news/news in general (Murdoch for example built his empire on soccer coverage).
They want more eyes and people having increased interest in sports will give it to them.
