Pierre’s role is expected to play a significant part in Catena Media’s ongoing development in North America and other regions.

At Catena Media recently

Catena Media earlier this month celebrated a promising start with player sign-ups in Kentucky following the state’s launch of legal online sports betting.

This market entry coincided with a bustling early-season NFL sports schedule and witnessed substantial player engagement due to extensive pre-launch marketing campaigns and tailored offers presented by Kentucky’s licensed operators.

The launch was propelled by Catena Media’s national brands, including LegalSportsReport.com, GamingToday.com, TheLines.com, and Lineups.com. The company’s media partnership with The Sporting News also contributed significantly to the influx of player registrations.

Ryan Harper, Vice President for North America at Catena Media, expressed satisfaction, saying, “We are delighted with the successful commencement of legal sports betting in Kentucky. Player registrations on our platforms met our expectations, and we foresee further growth as more individuals recognize the advantages of secure and regulated online sports betting.”

Although Kentucky has a relatively modest population, with around 3.5 million adults, this expansion brings Catena Media’s reach to over 27 U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
