Politicians vs media: the worst it's ever been, and getting worse? Or just more of the butting heads between the powerful and the press we've always had? Also: live sport's not just a TV and radio game these days, radio is a cockroach (and cheap) and an MMP maths fail. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Die Programmvorstellungen der US-amerikanischen Networks wurden in dieser Woche von NBC, FOX und ABC komplettiert. Bereits Mitte April veröffentlichte der Paramount-Sender CBS seine Strategie für die im Herbst anstehende Saison, bei der die Planer am Sonntag auf Football setzen. Mit Ausnahme des Mittwochs setzt das Unternehmen auf eine breite Bandbreite an Fiction. FOX, das Sat.1 der Vereinigten Staaten, füllt seine Primetime weiterhin mit vielen Spielshows wie «99» und «The Floor». Auf der anderen Seite werden freitags, samstags und sonntags Live-Sportübertragungen ausgestrahlt. Bei NBC gehören Dienstag und Sonntag der NBA sowie der NFL, während die Reality-Show «The Traitors» (als «Die Verräter» bei RTL) von Peacock ins lineare Fernsehen wechselt. Der Sender schielte wohl auf seinen Kooperationspartner aus England, wo die BBC inzwischen mehr als zehn Millionen Amerikaner abholt. Der Disney-Sender ABC ist ein wichtiger Lieferant für Disney+, weshalb die Planer auch in diesem Jahr sämtliche Fiction-Formate übernahmen. Außerdem werden samstags, sonntags und montags Live-Sportübertragungen angeboten. Der Dienstag ist traditionell in der Hand von «Dancing with the Stars», weshalb auch «High Potential» erst im kommenden Jahr zurückkehrt. Neben den Upfronts sprechen Mario Thunert und Fabian Riedner in dieser Ausgabe auch über die besten Songs beim «Eurovision Song Contest» und stellen jeweils ein Top-Fünf-Ranking zusammen.

In this episode of Next in Media, Mike Shields sits down with Alan Moss, VP of Global Advertising Sales at Amazon Ads, to talk about Amazon's rapid transformation into a full-funnel advertising powerhouse. Alan walks through how he joined Amazon mid-COVID in 2020 and within a few years helped land an 11-year NFL deal, launch Prime Video ads, and close an NBA partnership that made Prime Video a year-round sports network.  He and Mike dig into what's working in the upfront market, why Amazon sees retail media and streaming as one unified full-funnel business, and how Amazon DSP's partnerships with Netflix, Disney, Roku, and others now reach 90% of household audiences. They also get into the growing role of Twitch and creators as a mid-funnel marketing lever, and why Alan believes the future is AI agents — not just for creative optimization, but for full campaign orchestration.

In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down with Michael Wolf, CEO and Founder of Activate Consulting, to break down the findings from the firm's 11th annual Technology and Media Outlook. Michael walks us through Activate's "Attention Clock" and how multitasking stretches the average American's day well past 24 hours, leaving brands to fight for partial attention while still paying like they're getting all of it. We also get into the state of television. Michael explains why TV is more fragmented than Madison Avenue admits, why YouTube still doesn't get full credit despite dominating CTV, and what the Paramount-Warner deal actually changes. From there, we turn to predictions: Michael makes the case for virtual product placement as the next frontier in creator and in-game ads, and explains how sports gambling is changing live sports. He closes with his biggest sleeper story of 2026: spatial computing and the data layer that will power it. Key Highlights: ⏰ The Attention Clock Hits 32 Hours a Day: Activate's research shows multitasking is pushing daily media consumption past the limits of a 24-hour day, leaving advertisers fighting for partial attention.

Stegawave, an Irish technology company specialising in forensic watermarking for video content, has announced the launch of its anti-piracy platform for live sports streaming. Using a proprietary watermarking algorithm to embed invisible patterns into live streams, Stegawave identifies piracy sources in real time, shutting down illegal redistribution within minutes of detection. The platform integrates with existing streaming workflows and distribution systems, requiring no changes to a content owner's existing infrastructure. Stegawave customers also have the option to push alternative content or messaging to the illegal stream destination. Live sports piracy costs the global broadcasting industry billions annually, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimating the impact on the US economy alone at more than $29 billion per year. Illegal IPTV services, often referred to as 'dodgy boxes', restream content within minutes of broadcast, and legacy content protection technology cannot identify the source of a leak. For smaller and mid-tier organisations, the financial impact is proportionally even greater, as lost subscribers directly threaten the viability of grassroots and regional sports attendance and coverage. The announcement follows a successful deployment with Clubber TV, a leading live sports platform. Sports broadcasters worldwide are facing persistent piracy from illegal IPTV services that directly impact subscription revenue and the financial viability of the coverage itself. Stegawave was deployed across live broadcasts, detecting pirated streams and identifying the specific subscriber accounts responsible. Stegawave achieved a 100% detection rate across all streams, and because many illegal IPTV services share the same source account, blocking a single compromised account simultaneously disabled multiple pirate streams, amplifying the impact of each enforcement action. "Piracy is a massive threat to the sustainability of sports broadcasting at all levels, including grassroots coverage. This technology is potentially game-changing for us to ensure, following significant rights fee investments, that fans are only watching Clubber games on our platform," said Jimmy Doyle, CEO, Clubber. "It's been a pleasure to work alongside Clubber in stopping piracy of their premium matches. The work we have done together has helped us improve the Stegawave product and also resulted in new features. With the increase in illegal streaming not just in Ireland but worldwide, there is real momentum behind tackling this problem, and Stegawave can play a key role in tackling it both here and internationally. We look forward to supporting sports rights holders and broadcasters across the globe in recovering lost revenue and protecting their premium content." said Sean Fahey, CEO, Stegawave. Stegawave is now available for streaming platforms, sports broadcasters and rights holders who are looking to protect their premium content and maximise their Pay-Per-View and Subscription revenues. The Stegawave team will be attending NAB Show in Las Vegas from 18-22 April 2026, showcasing the platform to technology partners, content owners and wider media. See more stories here.

While the audience for the Academy Awards dwindles, patriotic sporting events like the World Baseball Classic skyrocket. The US hockey team winning the gold medal, last year's 4 Nations Face-Off, Caitlin Clark, TPUSA's Hard Rock Halftime, further embellished this contention. Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac extend the conversation regarding network TV reliance on sports, Maxx Crosby's awkward and demeaning trip to meet the Ravens prior to the trade being nixed, and Kenyon Martin scolding an employee on Gil's Arena for perceived lack of appreciation. Danny Kanell makes his weekly appearance to discuss Crosby, the Denver Broncos landing Jaylen Waddle, A.J. Brown's 2026 destination, and the pre-draft hype for Ty Simpson. ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

Join our Science of Sport Supporters Club, and get all the perks mentioned on the show, including access to our listener community and their great questions and insights, and also our Live Sport chat, which resume this weekend with the Milan San Remo races. Make a monthly pledge to become a member!In this Spotlight, we run our eye and offer our insights on the world of sport, covering a range of sporting events. We start with the Six Nations, which went beyond the wire in a spectacular tournament that shows the health of "the product". We discuss the ongoing Cape Epic, where the pairs format throws up some pacing and tactical challenges for unbalanced teams. And we preview the year's first Monument, where Tadej Pogacar will have to test and challenge Mathieu van der Poel's durability and 5-min power to win the elusive title. We discuss the requirement for Pogacar and UAE to extend the efforts above FTP and even VO2max to climbs even before the Cipressa, in order to make van der Poel vulnerable to a five minute effort on the decisive Poggio climb.Switching to running, we briefly discuss the remarkable 2:10 performance by Fotyen Tesfay in Barcelona, and why it's the de factor WR, but may be as questioned as the incumbent WR by Ruth Chep'ngetich. Another dramatic finish in Los Angeles, a marathon decided by 0.01s where the 'loser' went the wrong way, and didn't, apparently, take in a single gram of carbohydrates in the race.While on the subject of dramatic finishes, recent research shows that the odds of a cardiac arrest are significantly higher in the final kilometer of running races (20km and half marathon). We compare that to triathlons, where the odds of cardiac arrests are way higher in the first part of the race, in the swim. We discuss the physiology and emotional reasons for these risk increases.We then move into the resistance training space, to talk briefly about the American College of Sports Medicine's position stand on resistance training. It says what many people know, but challenges what a lot of people think, and the reaction has been enlightening!And finally, a few short results and discussion points from around the world of sport, including an unprecedented reversal of an entire tournament result, and a rare "defeat" (on a technicality) for Johannes Klaebo in cross-country skiingLinksRelevant to the discussion on recovery after high intensity efforts, here's an article on how our 'battery' is recharged, or reconstitutedArticle on Fotyen's 2:10:51 marathonGood insights on Fotyen from Letsrun.comThe research out of Paris showing the higher risk of cardiac events in the final kilometer of racesA similar study on cardiac arrests in triathlonThe LA Marathon finish and race are discussed in this articleThe ACSM Position Stand on Resistance TrainingStuart Phillips' posts on the ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training Hosted on Acast.

Local media across America is in its most tumultuous moment in decades, and Detroit is at the center of it. From the end of the joint operating agreement between the Free Press and the News, to shifts in public media funding, to the chaos around how you watch the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings, there's a lot to sort through. I talk with longtime PR pro and media watcher Matt Friedman of Tanner Friedman Public Relations about what's really happening, what's at stake for Metro Detroiters, and why your media subscriptions matter more than ever. The Rundown: 01:56 - People are confused in today's fast-changing media landscape. 02:58 Detroit's JOA (Joint Operating Agreement) is dissolved and the Detroit News and Free Press are separate now. What does that mean? Matt walks through how joint operating agreements emerged in the 1980s to keep multiple daily papers alive, and how Detroit's JOA kept the News and Freep tied together on the business side while competing in the newsroom for decades. He explains why their recent split into fully separate business and news operations is such a big deal in a market many don't think is "big enough" to support two robust metro newsrooms. We also get into the financial pressures facing local media, how Pittsburgh has lost two papers recently, how the New York Times makes more money and more profit than all of the USAToday/Gannett papers combined, and more.  18:08 The state of PBS and Public Media today: In short, it's not dead. With federal funding clawed back through a budget rescission and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolved, local stations now have to replace that money through philanthropy and memberships, which Detroit has managed so far — but smaller markets may not.  22:57 The local sports TV rights business is a mess right now.  There's real uncertainty about how fans will watch first‑place teams if the parent of the regional sports network can't find a buyer, and that contingency planning is already underway. Plus, might we see some games on free TV?  This was a conversation as a media nerd I was glad to have with someone who has a 360 degree view of the landscape, and I hope you get some value out of it.  If you've got feedback, email me - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com, hit up our contact form, or leave a voicemail at 313-789-3211.

Andrew Casale, CEO, Index Exchange, and Megan Pagliuca, Chief Product Officer, Omnicom Media Group, unpack how live sports and streaming are becoming more addressable through programmatic, why new standards are fixing real-time “spike” problems, and how sell-side decisioning and AI-driven curation could reshape efficiency and fees across the open internet. Takeaways Live sports are becoming truly addressable through programmatic. Targeting is shifting to moment-level signals, not broad demos. Standards like podding and advanced ad requests reduce live break spikes. Pre-fetching and smarter pacing keep delivery stable. Sell-side decisioning now happens earlier and faster. That speed opens new optimization before bids reach DSPs. The supply chain may be split into modular parts to cut fees. AI is already boosting inclusion lists, safety, and creative workflows.

How do you capture every moment of a golf tournament spread across hundreds of acres, tens of thousands of shots, and dozens of players competing at the same time? That question sits at the heart of this conversation recorded at AWS re:Invent, where I sat down with Eric Hansen, VP of Product at the PGA Tour, and Elaine Chiasson, who leads the global golf team at AWS, to unpack how data and AI are reshaping the way fans experience the game. Eric explains why modern professional golf has more in common with Formula 1 than most people realize. Every ball struck, every position on the leaderboard, and every shift in momentum generates data that needs to be processed instantly. With more than thirty thousand shots across a single tournament and only a fraction of them shown on traditional broadcasts, the PGA Tour faces a constant challenge. How do you give fans context, insight, and a sense of presence when most of the action is never seen on screen? Elaine shares how AWS has helped the Tour build the foundation to answer that question. From migrating decades of video and shot data into the cloud to applying generative AI for automated commentary, language translation, and real time insights, this partnership goes far beyond infrastructure. Together, they are experimenting with automated camera switching, AI driven production workflows, and personalized fan experiences that surface the right information at the right moment, whether you are following the leaderboard or a single favorite player. The conversation also digs into trust and accuracy. Eric walks through how the PGA Tour validates AI generated commentary to ensure it stays aligned with the sport's standards, while Elaine highlights why operational discipline and governance matter just as much as innovation. They explore what hyper personalization looks like inside the PGA Tour app, how global broadcasts could evolve, and why the long term opportunity lies in making every shot matter for every fan. As live sports move toward a future shaped by data, automation, and AI agents working behind the scenes, this episode offers a clear look at what that transformation really involves. So as golf continues to blend tradition with technology, what kind of fan experience do you want to see next, and how comfortable are you with AI calling the shots?

Quinn and Isaac rant about things being released on and around the holidays, and how it inevitably leads to spoilers.

Chuck Joiner and Charlotte Henry look at a report that stated that  Apple TV now has the highest average IMDb scores among streamers, validating its “quality over quantity” strategy.. They look at whether that is adequate to grow the service, and the “visibility” of Apple TV. The conversation includes Apple's shifting live-sports presence, from MLB's new rights deals to Apple's costly early exit from MLS, and how future sports experiences with Vision Pro and evolving streaming “wars” will affect the future.  Show Notes: Chapters: [0:00] Thanksgiving greetings and TV Plus Talk introduction[1:36] Quick impressions of The Morning Show Season 4[2:42] Apple TV+ leads IMDb average ratings discussion[4:58] Quality vs. quantity and long-game streaming strategy[9:58] Are high ratings enough to sustain a streaming service?[14:39] Prime Video, Disney, and library growth comparisons[14:43] MLB's massive World Series audience and new rights deals[16:44] Apple's live-sports strategy and current holdings[18:51] MLS Season Pass paywall misstep and course correction[20:18] Apple's early exit from the MLS deal and “expedited divorce”[27:22] Could Vision Pro reshape how we watch live sports?[31:56] Fast-changing sports rights landscape and streaming consolidation[35:27] Where Apple sits now in the live-sports hierarchy[35:59] Closing thoughts, Charlotte's Streaming Wars book, and gift guides Links: MLB announces new 3-year rights deals with ESPN, NBC, Netflixhttps://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-announces-media-rights-deals-with-espn-nbc-netflix AppleTV+ has the highest average IMDb score for its streaming libraryhttps://appleworld.today/2025/11/appletv-has-the-highest-average-imdb-score-for-its-streaming-library/ MLS, Apple TV to bring games outside of extra paywall in 2026: Sourceshttps://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6804777/2025/11/13/mls-apple-tv-end-paywall-season-pass/ Apple's Red Cardhttps://puck.news/why-apple-and-mls-have-gone-their-separate-ways/ Guests:   Charlotte Henry is a media junkie, covering how Apple is not just a revolutionary tech firm, but a revolutionary media firm.

Hold on—K.C.'s fired up! He can't watch football because Disney and YouTube are at war over money. ESPN, ABC, SEC Network—all gone from YouTube TV. Disney says it's about fair value; YouTube says it's about protecting customers. So, what's really going on in this streaming standoff—and how many streaming subscriptions will K.C. have when the dust settles?Meanwhile, the markets are digesting a lot at once: a Fed rate cut, one of the strongest earnings seasons in years, and the longest government shutdown in history, which has stalled key economic data. Historically, shutdowns haven't hurt performance, but this time, timing matters. With more than 80% of S&P 500 companies beating expectations and no fresh reports to guide policy or sentiment, we ask—how much longer can this rally keep its footing?After the break, we tackle how many Americans are trapped by their biggest asset: their homes. And not because of mortgage rates, but because of capital gains. In our example, a widow faces more than $100,000 in capital gains tax if she sells. That's the “lock-in effect” of a $250,000 home-sale exclusion that hasn't changed in nearly 30 years. We'll break down what that means for “everyday millionaires” and explore planning tools like QPRTs, the step-up in basis, or even paying the tax strategically that can make a difference.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

The season is a week away and we give all our prognostications on what we expect to happen this year.  There were some bold predictions and some....not so much.    Listen Here:  Apple Podcasts   Direct MP3   iHeart Radio Title Player Shawn Horcoff Shirts off for Horcoff NEWS Stolarz signs - 4 x $3.75MM Atlantic Division   Team Strengths / What's Going Well Key Challenges / What Could Go Wrong Expectations or Projection for 2025-26 Florida Panthers They're coming off back-to-back Stanley Cups, meaning they have experience, confidence, and a championship mindset. They also have strong core players, and continuity tends to help. CBSSports.com+3DraftKings Network+3NHL+3 Big blow: their captain Aleksander Barkov suffered a serious knee injury (ACL/MCL) in training camp, and is likely out for much or all of the season. That hurts leadership, two-way play, and depth. The Sun+2Reuters+2 Also, Matthew Tkachuk is recovering from surgery and may miss time. DraftKings Network+1 They'll need next-man up to step out. Still expected to be a top-team in the Atlantic, maybe the favorite. But their margin for error is slimmer without Barkov. If they stay healthy otherwise, they should contend for division and maybe again deep in the playoffs. Toronto Maple Leafs Very strong offensive core (Matthews, Nylander, etc.), good goaltending (Stolarz / Woll) last season. They won the division in 2024-25, so momentum and confidence are there. Daily Faceoff+3Wikipedia+3The Hockey Writers+3 Major change: Mitch Marner is gone (trade / sign-and-trade), so they lose a big creator and offensive driver. The Hockey Writers+2hockeybuzz.com+2 Depth on the blue line is a concern; mobility and puck-moving among the defense isn't elite. Also any injuries to top forwards could hurt. The Hockey Writers+1 They will likely still compete for a top-3 spot in the Atlantic. Many projections put them 2nd or 3rd. But whether they can pull off another division title may depend heavily on how they adapt without Marner. Tampa Bay Lightning They have veteran depth, star players (Hedman, Kucherov, etc.), strong goaltending history. They tend to remain a steady playoff presence and know how to win big games. The Hockey News+2DraftKings Network+2 Age and wear could creep in; maintaining performance across a full season is always harder for older players. Depth beyond their top lines / defense is always in question. Also, small off-season improvements vs rivals who might have improved more. The Hockey News+2hockeybuzz.com+2 Expect them to be in the mix for a playoff spot, likely top-3 or wild-card if needed. They might not win the division, but they'll be dangerous — especially if other teams have more turmoil. Ottawa Senators Young core is maturing: players like Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stützle, Jake Sanderson are established difference-makers. They made the playoffs in 2024-25 for the first time in a while. hockeybuzz.com+3NHL+3Wikipedia+3 They should have more experience, better cohesion. Depth is still a concern — forward depth, goaltending (though they have some good prospects), and whether they can avoid inconsistency (long losing stretches) especially in a tough division. Also, small margins matter in late games; punishing turnover or defensive lapses will hurt more in 2025-26. Likely a wild card contender; maybe push into the top-4 or 5 in the Atlantic depending on health and whether they capitalize in close games. Not likely favorites, but in many projections they finish around 4th in the division. The Hockey News+2The Hockey Writers+2 Montreal Canadiens Youth is coming through; the “next wave” is expected to make strides. Many observers see them as a team that could improve more steeply than some of their rivals. Daily Faceoff+1 They have upside — speed, prospects, and potential depth upgrades. Still less consistency, still gaps — especially in center depth, defensive depth, and perhaps special teams. They might struggle in tight games, and maybe lack the experience to keep pace with more battle-tested teams. Probably still just outside the top group, fighting for a wild-card. If things go well, could squeak into a playoff spot; if not, might hover in the middle. Projections often place them ~5th in the division. Boston Bruins After a down year, they have some assets and draft picks; hiring a new coach and adding forward depth are seen as positives. NHL+2The Hockey Writers+2 They also have tradition and infrastructure; could bounce back. They were last in the division in 2024-25, so regression is required just to be relevant. They need players to step up, younger guys to develop. Also, they need to improve on defense, and be better in transition and in penalty kill / special teams. Without big upgrades, they risk being left behind. NHL+1 Probably still a rebuilding / retooling year. Likely finish in the lower third of the division. Modest improvements, but playoff contention seems out of reach unless some surprise performances or trades happen. Buffalo Sabres Some high-end offensive talent (e.g. players like Tage Thompson) that have shown they can produce. Potential for breakout seasons. Bleacher Report+1 They also have assets and could use them wisely. Defensive structure, consistency, special teams, and goaltending tend to be weak or uneven. They have to avoid letting games get away — handling adversity, depth through injuries will be big. Also, relative to other Atlantic teams, margin for error is small. Probably still outside the playoff picture; might aim for getting close (70-80 wins?), but more likely a lower-end Atlantic finish (6th or 7th). Potential to improve, but not yet in serious contention unless they make big moves. Detroit Red Wings They showed competitiveness last season; some young core pieces are developing; fanbase optimism is there. They're not total longshots — could surprise. hockeybuzz.com+1 Depth is lacking; need more consistency, better defense, better special teams. Also, injuries and inexperience could hurt them over the grind of a full season. Their margin for error is small. Likely still on the outside looking in. May notch more wins than last season, possibly finish mid-pack in the division, but a playoff berth is probably a stretch unless many things go right.     Metropolitan   Team Strengths / What Looks Good Challenges / Risks Expectations / Projection Carolina Hurricanes Added scoring depth (Nikolaj Ehlers) and boosted their defense backing (K'Andre Miller). They have a strong coaching staff, and their core players (Aho, Svechnikov, etc.) are established. (The Hockey News) Ehlers has been somewhat injury prone; Miller is still adjusting to larger responsibility. Also, they've had playoff disappointments lately — expectations are high, so even small slip-ups will be magnified. (The Hockey News) Many project them to win the Metro. Likely among the top point totals in the division (100+ points), serious contender to go deep in the playoffs. (Yardbarker) New York Rangers Key offseason additions: defense improvements, coaching change (Mike Sullivan) which might stabilize some weaknesses. They have top-end talent offensively, good leadership, and the potential to tighten up defensively. (Yardbarker) Their defensive and 5-on-5 metrics were weak last season; goaltending concerns persist. They need consistency, especially in close games and during stretches without full health. (Yardbarker) Expected to bounce back. Many see them finishing near the top of the Metro, possibly 2nd or 3rd. Not quite the favourite, but serious playoff hopes. (Yardbarker) New Jersey Devils Young core that is increasingly experienced: Hughes, Bratt, etc. Some savvy offseason moves adding depth forwards and defensive pieces. If they stay healthy, they could compete for a high seed. (Live Sports on TV) Injuries to their star players remain a concern; goaltending is also an open question (how well Markstrom and others hold up). Depth still isn't quite elite. Also, consistency in tight games will be tested. (Yardbarker) Many expect them to improve on last season, possibly pushing for top-3 in Metro. A playoff berth is expected; division win less certain. If things go well, might break into serious contention. (Yardbarker) Washington Capitals Strong recent performance; good special teams, solid top lines, veteran leadership. Their depth is better in many eyes, and key players are still in good form. (The Hockey News) Aging defense corps could be a liability. Also, regression is possible—last season's stretch may be hard to replicate at the same level. Injuries always loom. (Yardbarker) Probably a top-4 Metro finish. They might not be favoured to win the division, but if things align, they could threaten. Expect playoff qualification, likely in a decent seeding spot. (Yardbarker) Columbus Blue Jackets Young players are continuing to develop; they showed last season they can compete. If goaltending solidifies and they stay healthy, they could push for the lower playoff spots. (Yardbarker) Goaltending is a concern (depth, consistency). Also, finishing games, managing pressure, and handling divisional matchups could expose their inexperience. Depth beyond top lines may still be a weak link. (Yardbarker) Dark horse for a wild card. Probably not expected to win the Metro, but could finish 4th–5th, depending on injuries and consistency. Surprises possible. (Yardbarker) New York Islanders Veteran presence, some depth, experience in tight defensive systems. Could outperform low expectations if they get hot and especially in home games. (Yardbarker) The roster seems to lack top-end scoring punch compared to the top Metro teams. Also unclear whether they've made enough changes to keep up with more aggressive/younger teams. If injuries hit, they may have trouble keeping pace. (Yardbarker) Likely in the middle of the pack. Maybe fight for a wild card but probably not among the top 3 unless something clicks. (Yardbarker) Philadelphia Flyers Some high-upside youth, flashes of good play, potential to surprise. They've added pieces that could help in depth and forward scoring. (Live Sports on TV) Still a ways to go. Lack of consistency, defense and special teams likely won't be top tier. Pressure to improve is there but may not have enough veteran stability. (Yardbarker) Probably among the lower end of Metro. Expecting modest gains; playoff battle is probably out of reach unless overperformance across the board. (Yardbarker) Pittsburgh Penguins Name recognition, leadership with veterans; still capable of pulling out big performances (especially in front of home crowd). If some younger players step up, there's upside. (Bleav) Aging core, inconsistent goaltending, defensive talent concerns. Many see them projected to finish last or near the bottom in the Metro. Long stretches of tough games could expose their vulnerabilities. (Yardbarker) Probably a rebuilding / transition year. More about development and seeing what youth can do. Playoffs unlikely barring massive surprises. Might aim to exceed low expectations rather than compete for top spots. (Yardbarker)                                       Pacific  Team Strengths / What's Working in Their Favor Key Weaknesses / Risks Expectations / Projection Vegas Golden Knights They won the division last season (2024-25) and bring strong overall depth, offensive firepower, and experience. (Daily Faceoff) They've also made roster tweaks to stay competitive. (Daily Faceoff) Losing or aging pieces, defensive depth under pressure, possible regression if injuries hit. Also, they'll get more attention from other teams, meaning more challenging matchups. (Daily Faceoff) Likely to be one of the top 2 in the Pacific, maybe the division winner again. Considered among the favorites. Edmonton Oilers Big upside. With superstars like McDavid, strong offensive core, recent playoff success (they made the Stanley Cup Final last season) indicate they already have what it takes. (Daily Faceoff) Goaltending is a concern, but if the tandem holds up, they could be dangerous. (NHL) Consistency in goal is a known risk: both in terms of performance and availability. Statistics suggest some volatility. Also, pressure expectations are high. If things go off the rails early, it could affect momentum. (NHL) Expected to challenge Vegas closely for the division; likely secure a playoff spot. Possibly division runner-up or even top if they outperform in goal. Los Angeles Kings They had a solid 2024-25, finishing 2nd in the Pacific. Key players have experience, and if their depth continues to build, they could push upward. (Wikipedia) Scoring consistency and depth past the top lines will matter. Injuries or underperformance in secondary scoring could limit how high they go. Also, keeping pace with Vegas/Edmonton will be challenging. (Daily Faceoff) Likely to be in the playoff mix. Possibly a dark horse for second or third in the division, potentially a lower seed but competitive. Vancouver Canucks They have some strong forward pieces, and internal roster improvements (especially on defense) are viewed by analysts as meaningful. If their goaltending is healthy, they could push for a wild card. (The Hockey Writers) Lack of a strong second-line center is viewed as a weakness. Also, past off-ice issues (locker room dynamics) and performance under pressure might be concerns. Health of key players will be crucial. (The Hockey Writers) Probably fighting for one of the lower playoff or wild card spots. Could surprise and finish mid-pack in Pacific if things go well, but not expected to win the division. Calgary Flames Some analysts see potential for them to climb; they may be undervalued, depending on offseason additions, internal development, and being in a division that is top-heavy (so second tiers can get more margin). (Daily Faceoff) Depth issues, matching up against elite offensive teams, special teams and defensive consistency often are weak spots. If opponents exploit those, Flames might struggle in tight games. (Daily Faceoff) Likely just outside of the top 3 in the division; possible wild card contender if they stay consistent and avoid injury. Anaheim Ducks They are still rebuilding, but have young talent, and some key contracts or signings could help them improve. (Daily Faceoff) Probably still a year or two away from being a real threat. Their defense and goaltending need to improve more before they can reliably win close games. Depth beyond the top prospects might limit their ceiling this season. (The Hockey Writers) Probably toward the lower end of playoff contention. More likely playing spoiler or improving win totals rather than challenging for top of Pacific. Seattle Kraken They have new coaching (Lane Lambert) which could bring a change in culture or playing style. Some young players are expected to develop further. (Wikipedia) They were weak in 2024-25, and must overcome inconsistency, defensive holes, scoring shortages. Also, renovation of systems and integrating young players tends to produce growing pains. (OilersNation) Likely among the bottom few in Pacific, unless there is a breakout by young core. Probably fighting for modest gains in standings rather than playoff spots. San Jose Sharks Potential upside in young players / prospects; less external pressure; opportunity to surprise if things align. (Daily Faceoff) Very likely to struggle in many games. Depth, defense, offense vs stronger teams are weak points. Budget / roster limitations may make large leaps difficult. (Daily Faceoff) Likely near the bottom of the Pacific this season. Development year. Might win some rounds, maybe upset a few higher-ranked teams, but not expected to make the playoffs in baseline projections.                                       Central    Team What Looks Good / Strengths What Could Go Wrong / Key Risks Expectations / Projection Colorado Avalanche • Strong forward group with Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas, Brock Nelson, Valeri Nichushkin. (The Hockey Writers) • Good defensive depth; additions like Brent Burns and Victor Olofsson project to bolster secondary scoring and depth. (The Hockey News) • More stable goaltending: Mackenzie Blackwood paired with Scott Wedgewood may reduce the inconsistency that has been a drag in past seasons. (The Hockey Writers) • Landeskog's ability to stay healthy and produce consistently is still a question. (The Hockey Writers) • Age of some defensive pieces (e.g. Burns) is a factor; performance may dip or break down in tough stretches. • If the backup goaltending or depth scoring fails, that could expose vulnerabilities. Among the favorites to win the division or finish top 2-3. Many projections put Colorado near or at the top. They are seen as a Stanley Cup contender from the Central. (The Hockey News) Dallas Stars • Strong forward group / top-6 depth. Even if they lost some pieces, their core remains dangerous. (The Hockey Writers) • Jake Oettinger remains a strong goaltender, giving them solid chances in tight games. (The Hockey News) • They may have gotten slightly “worse on paper” due to offseason departures; matching pace with Colorado, Winnipeg, etc., will be tough. (The Hockey Writers) • Defensive depth could be stressed; margin for error is smaller in a tight division. Very likely playoff team; realistic chance to compete for the division title. Projections often put them 1-3 in the Central. (The Hockey Writers) Winnipeg Jets • Strong regular season potential: solid core, strong goaltending, capable offense. (The Hockey News) • Adding leadership / veterans like Jonathan Toews may help in tight playoff push games. (The Hockey News) • They lost Nikolaj Ehlers, which is a nontrivial blow to their offense. Replacing that contribution is not simple. (The Hockey Writers) • Keeping consistency over a full season, especially in travel / divisional games, is always challenging. • Injuries or regression from key players could hamper momentum. Expected to finish among the top 3 in the Central; likely a playoff spot. Some projections have them trailing Colorado and Dallas. (The Hockey News) Utah Mammoth • Progressing core; young but gaining experience. Some observers view them as dark horse. (The Hockey Writers) • They have added pieces to try to round out depth; more cohesion could pay off. • Their overall expectation is rising; they may benefit if other teams slip. • Inexperience could hurt in high-stakes games. • Depth still may not be sufficient to sustain long slumps or injuries to key forwards / defense. • Goaltending and consistency remain open questions. Likely a wild card contender. Could finish 4th-5th in the division, possibly grab a playoff spot if things break well. Not yet expected to challenge at the very top, but capable of overachieving. (The Hockey Writers) Minnesota Wild • Some talented young players developing (e.g. Zeev Buium, Brock Faber, etc.). (The Hockey Writers) • Goaltending tandem (Gustavsson / Wallstedt) may give them more stability. (The Hockey Writers) • If Kaprizov stays engaged and the offense gets consistent support, they could push for wild card. • There has been uncertainty around certain players' commitments/futures (e.g. rumors with Kirill Kaprizov). • Depth beyond the top lines / top 6 remains a concern. • Defensive breakdowns in tight games and special teams performance could limit upside. Probably mid-pack in Central. Many projections expect them to fight for a playoff

Text and Be HeardRecovery from addiction takes many forms, but as our guest John G explains after 30 years without placing a bet, the journey follows distinct layers. First comes arresting the illness through changing daily behaviors and becoming accountable. The deeper work involves addressing character defects that drain serenity, making amends to those harmed, and developing a spiritual connection that sustains long-term recovery.The digital age has dramatically transformed gambling addiction. What once required visiting a casino or calling a bookie now happens silently through smartphone screens, creating a new breed of gambler who's more isolated and depressed. College campuses have become ground zero for sports betting companies targeting young males through aggressive advertising and peer pressure. As John points out, "It's toxic, but it's intoxicating," especially for young people who haven't yet learned the value of earning and saving money.Perhaps most alarming is the industry's promotion of live betting, which accelerates addiction by encouraging continuous play and chasing losses. This practice compresses what once took decades of addiction development into just a few years. The parallels to Big Tobacco are unmistakable—from targeting youth to denying harmful effects while hiding behind hollow "responsible gambling" messages. As John wisely observes, "Everyone thinks coming in that it's a gambling problem. They realize after a while it's a living problem." Ready to understand how recovery goes beyond just stopping the behavior? Listen now and discover what it takes to truly heal from gambling addiction.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.
