Fantasy Guru Matthew Berry Lands New Roku Show

Summary
- Matthew Berry launches a new daily two-hour sports show.
- The show, 'Pregame with Matthew Berry,' will air weekdays.
- It features fantasy sports talk and general sports opinions.
Fantasy sports luminary Matthew Berry is launching a new daily show on the Roku Channel. The two-hour program, called 'Pregame with Matthew Berry,' will broadcast weekdays from noon to 2 p.m. ET, starting next Monday. Berry, formerly known as 'The Talented Mr. Roto,' will continue his extensive fantasy sports coverage while also offering general sports commentary with invited guests.
This new venture marks Berry's return to a daily format and signifies a strategic move after his four-year tenure at NBC. His previous role at NBC included being the first fantasy expert featured on a Super Bowl pregame show. Berry had explored a return to ESPN but ultimately found Roku to be the most suitable platform for his expanded sports discussion series.
Roku has been actively increasing its sports content offerings. The platform previously aired MLB games and recently announced a deal with Fox for content acquisition, pending regulatory approval. Berry's show, produced by his company Fantasy Life, aims to capitalize on Roku's growing sports presence, filling a void left by Rich Eisen's earlier departure.
