Hey, everybody. This is Richard Deich and welcome to the sports media podcast. My producer is Patrick Antenetti.

Sixth guests this week. Very exciting. I've been wanting to do this for a while. It is a podcast that focuses on the Canadian sports media.

And we have two panels of three, so six guests overall.

All right, the first panel is Donovan Bennett, a multimedia host and writer for Sportsnet.

Brian Hayes, the host of TSN's Overdrive Show and podcast, also a commentator for TSN.

And Kara Wagland, an anchor and reporter for Sports Center and the host of the NFL on TSN.

So that's panel one.

The second panel consists of Shereen Ahmed, a senior contributor with CBC Sports, the co-host of the Burn It All Down

podcast, Morgan Campbell, a senior contributor for CBC Sports, and a long-time writer in the

Toronto Marketplace, including many years with the Toronto Star, and James Sibulski, a play-by-play voice for EA

Sports's NHL 21 and a longtime sports media voice in Vancouver. In the podcast, the group discusses

whether Canadian sports fans are being served by the Canadian sports media, what Canadian

sports consumers want from people in

their positions, what content areas are growing and receding, prospects for long time employment,

particularly for young people in the space, whether the U.S. has any impact on the Canadian

sports media content, and of course the impact of the arrival of legalized sports gambling in Canada.

I think it's a conversation you're really going to enjoy, particularly if you're an American, in fact,

because you probably have not heard this perspective. So six great guests and I really appreciate their time and thoughtfulness and their insight.

So without further ado, let's embark on our discussion on the Canadian Sports Media.

All right.

So we now bring in our first panel, and I've introduced some of them at the top, but I'll give

them a mini introductions here as well. Donovan Bennett, who has been on this podcast before,
