Podcast appearances and mentions of John Shannon

Brenden Escott sits down with longtime NHL analyst John Shannon to dig into the shifting North American sports media landscape, sparked by a recent Awful Announcing article on how the NHL could benefit from TNT potentially losing NBA rights and ESPN stepping away from MLB. What does this mean for hockey's broadcast future, both in the U.S. and Canada? Could the NHL become a bigger television priority, and how might fans experience the game differently if networks reallocate resources? John brings his decades of insight on rights negotiations, broadcaster strategies and the evolving value of hockey in the sports media marketplace. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Tyler's Ace Race, waiting on Connor McDavid, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about an under-the-radar player that everyone is excited to watch this coming season. From Stuart Skinner rebounding to Trent Frederic playing healthy as an Oiler for the first time to Adam Henrique having a better offensive season, there are plenty of players on the roster the boys are excited to watch. Needless to say, the squad is hopeful about what the current roster will be able to do in 2025-26. Looking at the limited news that happened this past week, the guys discussed a new goaltending rumour that suggested Edmonton could be interested in one of Detroit's many goaltenders. We also discussed recent speculation from John Shannon that suggested Connor McDavid's contract extension could come in cheaper than some folks expect. Talking about McDavid's extension led the boys to wonder when No. 97's name will end up on a contract, and Baggedmilk has a horrible feeling it's going to come through when everyone is on the golf course for the Oilersnation Open. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that's what happens in August. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's another Wednesday in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another non-event news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed Tyler's Ace Race, patiently waiting for Oilers news, extension rumours, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.There isn't much happening in Edmonton Oilers land these days, which meant a very quick recap of the news and stories that happened over the last two weeks. While we still wait for Connor McDavid's contract extension, more insiders are starting to chime in with what they think this new deal is going to look like, including John Shannon's speculation that the AAV will be lower than many expect. I also touched on a recent interview Stuart Skinner gave at NHL.com, where the Oilers' goalie spoke about being confident that the group will be able to respond after a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final loss.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive with nonsense this week, and as always, the messages were as fun as ever. The voicemails are a fun way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
