Dave Portnoy Details Specifics of New Barstool Sports Show on FS1

Yahoo4 days ago
Barstool Sports and Fox Sports are partnering in a deal that includes a new daily show on Fox Sports 1.
Barstool founder Dave Portnoy confirmed the deal on Thursday, July 17, which will also feature his appearance on the network's Big Noon Kickoff college football pregame show.
Barstool Sports will also be given a daily show from 8-10 a.m., Portnoy revealed on The Unnamed Show. Portnoy will appear on the daily show on Mondays and different Barstool personalities will also be involved.
"We are going to do an 8-10 daily show on Fox Sports 1. It'll be like a Barstool breakfast show or Barstool wake-up," Portnoy said. "I'm going to do Mondays, we'll have an office in Chicago, it'll be different characters."
Portnoy added that the show will cover whatever is the hot topic at the moment, whether it's sports- or Barstool-related.
"So, whatever is happening and relevant to our world, but it'll be like, basically, all of our talent in the show," Portnoy added. "There will be different days people are doing it, I know I'm doing Mondays."
The Barstool Sports show, which doesn't appear to have an official name yet, will be replacing Breakfast Ball, the show that was in the 8-10 a.m. time slot on FS1 previously.
Breakfast Ball was one of three shows cancelled by the network recently, along with The Facility and Speak.

Northern Trust CEO dismisses reports of takeover talks

This story was originally published on Banking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Banking Dive newsletter. Northern Trust CEO Mike O'Grady on Wednesday dismissed reports that the bank had met with other institutions to discuss a potential sale. 'Contrary to recent speculation, during my tenure as CEO, we have never entertained discussions regarding the sale of the company with any financial institution, nor do we intend to,' O'Grady told analysts on a call following Northern Trust's second-quarter earnings report. 'We believe that strategy of independence is what will produce the best returns for our shareholders ultimately,' he said. The Wall Street Journal reported that Chicago-based Northern Trust had been approached by BNY to discuss a potential merger in June. Goldman Sachs also approached the firm earlier this year, according to Semafor. 'Is there any scenario in which you think M&A would make sense from a shareholder return perspective? Or do you think the uniqueness of the Northern franchise, the scale in the custody business, all of that kind of makes just M&A unattractive strategically?' Bank of America analyst Ebrahim Poonawala asked following O'Grady's commitment to independence. O'Grady said the bank is 'completely focused' on executing its strategy, and that independence will 'produce the best returns for our shareholders ultimately.' The bank has $18.1 trillion in assets under management or custody as of June 30. 'We've heard from a lot of our clients … who have said, 'We chose Northern Trust because it's a different value proposition. It's one where you are focused on trying to provide a higher level of client service, where you do have very targeted expertise in just certain segments of the market where you compete.' We believe that that differentiated value proposition is the one that's going to create the most value,' O'Grady said. 'We're an organic growth company,' he added. 'But if at times, there's something that would be attractive for us on the inorganic front to improve that value proposition, we would consider doing it, obviously, with very high standards.' Sen Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, warned BNY CEO Robin Vince this week that buying Northern Trust would be 'presumptively illegal' based on BNY's size, 'raising serious antitrust concerns and presenting risks to financial stability given the firms' dominance in important markets that serve as the plumbing of the financial system.' 'Should this potential merger move forward, the combined entity's estimated custodial services market share would exceed 30 percent, and would appear to significantly increase consolidation in this market, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ('HHI'), by roughly 400 points,' Warren wrote. Northern Trust's stock price was down 3% in the first hour of trading Wednesday, and Truist analysts attributed the dip to 'the emphatic denial of the company being up for sale, in contrast to news reports of suitors approaching [Northern Trust] management in recent weeks, and the pros and cons of independence drove the bulk of the analyst questioning.' As of 11 a.m. Thursday, the price has risen to $128.39, above where it was before the call. Northern Trust declined to comment beyond the earnings call comments. BNY and Goldman also declined to comment.

NY transit authority orders nation's first battery-electric passenger locomotive

This story was originally published on Smart Cities Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Smart Cities Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority ordered 13 battery-electric passenger locomotives to serve trains on its Metro-North lines, marking the first use of the technology in North America. Siemens Mobility will manufacture the locomotives in its Sacramento, California, facility and expects they will go into service in 2029, the company's interim CEO, Tobias Bauer, said in an interview. The dual-mode locomotives, which can draw electric power from overhead wires and switch to battery power where those are not available, could avoid passengers having to change trains from Manhattan to some destinations in Connecticut, Bauer said. Dive Insight: Transit agencies in the U.S. are exploring alternatives to diesel-powered locomotives, which impact human health and the environment, and electric locomotives, which require expensive infrastructure such as overhead wires. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority; Caltrain, a commuter rail line that serves the San Francisco Peninsula; Southern California's Metrolink system; and the Chicago-area Metra commuter railroad are planning for battery-electric or hydrogen-powered trains. The Siemens battery-electric locomotive is an adaptation of its Charger locomotive, which is available powered either by diesel engines or external electric infrastructure. More than 400 such locomotives have been sold to date in North America. The new battery-electric locomotive will seamlessly transition from overhead power to battery power. 'The locomotive itself knows where it is and when it has to switch,' Bauer said. The MTA said the locomotives will bring trains from its New Haven, Connecticut, line to Penn Station, a project that includes four new train stations in the Bronx borough of New York City. 'What better way to inaugurate this new service than with cutting edge battery-electric locomotives that will set a new standard for environmental friendliness and overall reliability?' Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi said in a statement. Siemens Mobility also provided a map that shows other destinations the battery-electric locomotive could serve, including Danbury and Waterbury, Connecticut, which are on non-electrified lines. Commuter trains from Croton-Harmon, New York, which now go to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, could also go to Penn Station using the battery-electric locomotives. The battery-electric locomotives provide 'a lot of flexibility,' Bauer said. The locomotives can operate up to 125 mph and run on battery power for up to 100 miles.
