Podcast appearances and mentions of steve mcallister

It's been a while since an episode of the Gaming News Canada Show went into overtime. However, it's also been a while since Jonah Sigel was our guest, and the timing couldn't be better. Sigel, the guy behind the @yyzsportsmedia account on X, the YYZ Sports Media website and the Bleave In The Pressrow Podcast, has been on top of the coverage around another disappointing playoff exit by the Toronto Maple Leafs and the end-of-season media sessions with MLSE head honcho Keith Pelley and Leafs GM Brad Treliving. He's also watched closely the ongoing debate around Sportsnet's hockey broadcasts and the subpar national televison ratings in the U.S. of A. during these Stanley Cup playoffs. So, Sigel, who had longtime hockey broadcast executive and personality John Shannon on his podcast recently, was Steve McAllister's guest for a conversation along with some back and forth on what's ahead in this Summer of 2025, Maple Leafs Edition, the good, bad and ugly of Hockey Night in Canada and hockey broadcasts south of the border, and a debate about the media's access to athletes in today's professional sports world. Also, because this program is one that's focused on the business of sports wagering and igaming, there was a chin wag around the continued consternation in some corners when it comes to betting talk intersecting with sports talk.

When the topic of startups comes up in a conversation, one of the first thoughts is a company created by young people chugging Red Bull and leaving empty pizza boxes on the floor. OK, perhaps we exaggerate a little bit. However, the co-founders of Defy The Odds, formed to lend a helping hand to other startups, aren't your stereotypical startup trio. Sue Schneider, Paris Smith and Kelly Kehn have a combined 75-years plus in the gambling industry and have individually been among the leading crusaders for women in a business that has historically been heavily male skewed. The three gaming leaders were Steve McAllister's guests on a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc. They provided McAllister with the back story on the creation of Defy The Odds at the end of 2024, and the new company's recently announced partnerships with Thundr,QueenBHive, and Let's Fantasy Game. Schneider, a frequent guest on the GNCS, Smith and Kehn also spoke about their mentors during the early days in the industry, and the need to continue pushing the envelope on DEI initiatives.

When the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association (finally) decided to take the Nestea plunge into international hockey again, puck insiders and fans - and the best players from Canada, the U.S. of A., Sweden and Finland - weren't quite sure what the 4 Nations Face-Off would produce. Well, the four-team tournament which culminated with Connor McDavid's overtime goal to lift Canada over Team USA in the championship game was a resounding success. The inaugural global hockey event delivered two nail-biting, tough-as-nails contests between the North American rivals, full houses in Montreal and Boston, record television audiences on both sides of the border, and record activity among bettors with legal online sportsbooks. For more on the impact of the 4 Nations, we were joined on the Gaming News Canada Show, presented by GBG Plc. First, Rob Corte, Vice-President of Sportsnet and NHL Production at Rogers, shared his insights. Then, we brought back DraftKings' long-time Head of Sportsbook, Johnny Avello, and John Ewing, PR Manager – Insights for BetMGM. Both Avello and Ewing spoke with host Steve McAllister about the tournament's success and its impact on the operations of DraftKings and BetMGM with their respective hockey offerings. They also discussed the potential implications for the Stanley Cup playoffs and the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.We also asked the pair about the upcoming spring sports schedule, including March Madness and the Masters. And we had a chinwag with Avello about the PGA Tour's recent Waste Management Open and the current state of men's golf. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The UK-based identify verification company's Director of Gaming, Rebekah Jackson, returned to the Gaming News Canada Show for a conversation with host Steve McAllister on GBG's investment in our home and native land. Jackson gave us the goods on the company's success in Ontario, and on its preparations to support the incoming regulated gambling industry in Alberta.

When Don Bourgeois and Harley Redlick showed up at a Canadian Gaming Association event just before Christmas in December 2023, inquiring minds among the attendees asked the pair of Osgoode Hall Law School graduates when they were bringing back a gambling law certification program launched in 2017 only to be placed on hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Well, Bourgeois and Redlick listened and the result is the return of the five-module program, which will begin April 3 and run through early May. The two gambling industry veterans were Steve McAllister's guest on a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc. Bourgeois, who has more than 25 years of experience in the gaming sector and Redlick of Sharp Edge Picks fame, summarized the curriculum for the 2025 program – which reflects the evolving legal gambling industry in Ontario and the rest of Canada. They also told our humble host the potential beneficiaries of participating in the program. The pair also weighed in on the evolution – and the wins and losses - of Ontario's regulated marketplace since launching in April 2022, and provided some thoughts on the launch of an expanded legal sector in Alberta. And, oh yes, we asked Redlick for his thoughts on Super Bowl LIX; the Philadelphia Eagles' surprising dismantling of the Kansas City Chiefs delivered a banner evening to sportsbooks (as reported yesterday by Patrick Everson for Fox Sports).

If you've been following along with the writings and audio recordings on this (mostly) august media platform, you know all about the still-growing popularity of igaming within the world of gambling. So, when sports media industry confreres Steve McAllister and Jason Sukrahj reconnected on the latest episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc, there was some talk about the current state of media, sporting style. But the conversation eventually shifted to SportsGrid shifting more than a middling amount of attention to online casino and other games. That was punctuated in the final quarter of 2024 when the U.S.-based multimedia content and technology company brought into the fold casino content personality Brian Christopher – who along with his life and BC Ventures partner Marco Bianchi were our guests on the podcast during last summer's Canadian Gaming Summit – and golf and social media celebutante Paige Spirnac. Sukrahj, the general manager, audience and Canada at SportGrid and sports industry veteran, gave us the goods on the company's investment in Christopher and Spirnac, whose Gimme Props show will launch next month during Super Bowl week. And, of course, the chat included a look at the ever-changing attempts to integrate sports betting content into traditional sports media networks and programming, and the growth of SportsGrid in the streaming universe.

The next 12 months are expected to deliver continuing change when it comes to the business of sports, sports media, and of course, sports betting. That was made clear on the first Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc. of 2025. Brian Cooper, the long-time Canadian sports sponsorship guru and current frequent board member – including chair of MKTG Canada, and Canada Basketball, and a member of the board of directors at NorthStar Gaming – and The Parleh co-founder/CEO Mark Silver were our guests for a lookahead edition of the podcast and covering a cornucopia of topics, including: - What's next for sports media in our home and native land from the reduction of journalists from newsrooms, to the continuing growth of podcasts, the increasing influence of “content creators” to the future of sports talk radio.- Twenty-five years ago, then-Toronto Star sports media beat writer Chris Zelkovich reported on interest by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to acquire CTV SportsNet. With Rogers, owners today of Sportsnet, now controlling majority ownership of MLSE (one of the leading sports and entertainment entities on the planet, and with long-time sports broadcast executives Keith Pelley and Phil King now helping steer the good ship MLS and E), what does that mean for the future of Canadian sports and sports media?- Speaking of MLSE, what's next for Larry Tanenbaum, who continues to be a large presence on the Canadian sports scene and is bringing a WNBA franchise to Toronto?- The partnership announcement on New Year's Eve between the MLB Milwaukee Brewers and FanDuel Sports Network and court proceedings between MLB Players Inc., and DraftKings and bet365 highlight the ongoing investment by sportsbook operators in sports media and content.- And, the still-evolving fragmentation of sports broadcast rights, including Netflix's hugely successful partnership with the NFL on Christmas Day. To cap off the podcast, host Steve McAllister asked Cooper and Silver for stories to watch in 2025 and received a couple of Spockian-eyebrow responses from the two veteran sports executives.

On the roller-coaster that is the current state of sports media in North America, the folks at The GIST are among the ones enjoying the ride. In October, “the revolutionary and inclusive sports media brand” announced it had reached one million subscribers across its various and sundry platforms. It's most likely not a coincidence that the milestone was reached in a year highlighted by the overwhelming impact of basketball superstar Caitlin Clark on both the NCAA women's hoops game, and the WNBA, along with a dominant performance by Canadian(including swimmer Summer McIntosh, who was a no-brainer choice to receive the Northern Star Award as the country's athlete of the year) and American women at the Paris Olympics. Ellen Hyslop, the co-founder and head of content for The GIST, made her maiden appearance on the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc to talk about the company's evolution since its creation in 2017. She discussed with host Steve McAllister the “Caitlin Clark effect” - including Clark's recent selection as TIME Magazine's athlete of the year – the arrival of a North American women's professional hockey league, and support of women's sports from brands and corporations. Our conversation also included the appetite “GISTers” have for the NFL and other major professional sports. Hyslop spoke with McAllister in July 2021 for a Toronto Star column about sports and sports betting, so we revisited that topic and the partnerships The GIST have had with sportsbook operators. Finally, she gave us a (tiny) glimpse into what GIST subscribers can expect in 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eighteen years ago, a former Microsoft engineer was tuned in to the changing landscape of sports broadcasting rights and the opportunity to guide sports fans through the expanding maze. That bit of prescience prompted Mark Phillip to create Are You Watching This?! which today provides real-time data for professional and U.S. college sports around the world. In 2019, after the overturning of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) to legalize expanded sports betting in the U.S. of A., Phillip founded MetaBet to deliver sports wagering technology to media companies. On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc, Phillip spoke with host Steve McAllister about the growth of both companies – and also his I Can't Find The Game! brand – and both the challenges and opportunities in an ever-expanding media rights world that this season added NHL games on Prime Video in Canada, and speculation on what the NHL broadcasting landscape will look like in our home and native land when the Rogers deal expires in 2026.

It turns out that the road to regulated sports betting and online gaming in Alberta has hit a pothole or two. Tom Nightingale of Canadian Gaming Business reported Monday that more time is needed for the provincial government in the land of the Oilers and Flames to meet with various stakeholders with potential skin in the game of a legal gambling marketplace. For further context on this story, Jessica Welman – the editor-in-chief of both SBC Americas and Canadian Gaming Business – made her return to the Gaming News Canada Show.

On this episode of Big Blend Radio, composer Steve McAllister discusses the music on his new album “I hope you are okay.” Featuring stellar players, the album is made up of ten songs, recorded primarily during COVID with everyone working from home. Says Steve, “It was a fun process: I'd write a song and form, send it to the drummer. It'd come back to me, I'd make a few additions then send it to Mike or Dave. Back it'd come, more tweaks, then on to the next person. Finally, off to the mixer. Then we'd go ‘round with the next one. Despite it being recorded in California, Arizona, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Texas, and England, it sounds like a band in a room.”On the album: Rafael Bernardo Gayol (Leonard Cohen, A-ha, Robbie Robertson) - DrumsMike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai) - GuitarsDave Gregory (XTC, Peter Gabriel) - GuitarsDana Colley (Morphine) - SaxesDony Wynn (Robert Palmer, Robert Plant) - Additional DrumsMore: http://www.stevemcallistermusic.com/ Hosted on Acast.

The business of “taking care of business” is wide ranging and one aspect is actually getting to the workplace.Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Alexandria Eberhardt said businesses are on the same page as employees when it comes to making sure people can get to their jobs. Eberhardt, a guest this week on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program, said she found Congressman Seth Moulton in agreement during a recent business summit at Salem State University Enterprise Center.“As we know, looking at transportation, obviously the MBTA has issues, but also looking at regional rail lines and all of that. When we talk about transportation, those two things need to go hand in hand. People need to be able to access travel to their job and the better public transportation we have, the more access they have to more jobs,” she said.During the Feb. 24 meeting involving various chambers of commerce and business organizations, Eberhardt said the congressman spoke about the need for infrastructure improvements to support expected workforce growth over the next five to 10 years.Eberhardt also discussed Gov. Maura Healey's proposal for tuition-free community college that was included in her first budget plan. Eberhardt noted she worked in Rhode Island before coming to Haverhill and talked about how free college works in the Ocean State“There is free community college tuition in the state of Rhode Island. Gov. (Gina) Raimondo at the time—now U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo—put that through and we found massive changes in education and skill building and stackable credentials with the opportunity for people to attend college for free, for two years, to access that funding for two years to continue their mobility forward in that way. So, personally I am a big proponent of free community college,” she said.Eberhardt also took time to preview the next Eggs and Issues legislative breakfast, hosted by the Haverhill Chamber of Commerce. The upcoming meeting features guest speaker Stephen McAllister, eastern region vice president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.“Steve McAllister who is the vice president for the 11 states, West Virginia north through New England, through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He is coming to speak with us to give us a federal snapshot of all things coming out of Washington, D.C., on March 16, down at the HC Studio at the (UMass Lowell) iHub,” she said.Registration for the breakfast may be made online at haverhillchamber.com.Support the show
