 In this episode, we go behind the desk that turned into a Sportcentre for James Duthie, TSN’s lead host and sports journalist. James’ work has earned him multiple awards including three Geminis, a Canadian Screen Award, and the Excellence in Sports Broadcasting Award from Sports Media Canada.

Coincidentally I was working as a corporate communicator at TSN the day that James arrived at the network back in 1998 and was involved with promoting him as the so-called next big guy in tv sports and can fondly remember how well he dealt with being marketed as Canada’s lead sportscaster for the generation to come. No small challenge. 

 I recently re-connected with James and we reflected on the current state of sports television by considering the future of the Olympics, soccer in Canada as well as sports media generally by re-visiting some of the fun times from an era when Canadian all-sports television was still sorting itself out. … and how he has flourished after 30 years in the business.  AND what he aspires to accomplish with still plenty of gas in his sports journalist tank.
