Jonas Brothers enchant fans in intimate Mohegan Sun Arena performance 

The Jonas Brothers delivered an intimate performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut on August 17th.

At the tour’s fifth concert, the band treated a packed crowd of fervent fans to a rendition of 67 songs from their extensive career. This marked their fifth appearance at the venue, a place with significant meaning as they had debuted there shortly after the release of “Year 3000” in 2007.

President of Mohegan Sun sports and entertainment, Thomas Cantone, shared, “Their very first performance [at Mohegan Sun Arena] was a halftime show at our Connecticut Sun WNBA game, and then years later they came back as headliners in the arena.”

“We’re invested in them as an act and them personally. We know their family and all of that,” Cantone added.

For Nick, Joe, and Kevin, the performance held a sense of homecoming, as Cantone referred to it. The trio showcased their musical journey, delighting fans with tracks from albums such as Jonas Brothers, A Little Bit Longer, Lines, Vines & Trying Times, Happiness Begins, and The Album. Attendees proudly displayed both recent and vintage JoBros merchandise, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The band took to Instagram to express their post-concert sentiments. “Unforgettable night last night,” they wrote, acknowledging “each show has exceeded our expectations.”

During the Connecticut show, the Jonas Brothers made personal connections with the audience, engaging in discussions about favorite songs from their discography. The trio even extended well wishes to a recently engaged couple from the stage, culminating in a heartwarming “kiss cam” segment.

After the performance, Kevin, 35, expressed his gratitude on his personal Instagram account. He shared photos from the show and thanked the fans for their overwhelming…

You’re invited to join us in supporting more milestones in rehab for stroke survivors, children with developmental disabilities, mental health services and more.

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — For the 14th year, WNEP-TV is teaming up with major sponsors, volunteer runners, and you to raise funds and awareness for Allied Services.

Every year, runners volunteer to independently train and raise funds as they pledge to complete the TCS New York City Marathon—one of the largest charity efforts in the country, where thousands come together to support the causes nearest to their hearts.

You’re invited to join us in supporting more milestones in rehab for stroke survivors, more firsts for children with developmental disabilities, more precious memories for hospice patients, more lives restored for mental health sufferers.

The campaign kicks off with a party in Luzerne County at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

Team Members:

Jennifer Ducharme of Shavertown ran through the five boroughs of New York City as a member of Team Allied Services. Initially, she thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with emphasis on the “once.”

“I do remember saying to my mom after, ‘I don’t know if I’m going to do this again.’ And she said, ‘You don’t have to decide right now.’ But here we are,” Ducharme said.

Ducharme is one of many members of Team Allied Services who volunteer to train and run a marathon and raise money for Allied Services.

“I did it once, and it was a long, hard day, and I said, ‘OK, I’m good.’ And then we did the check reveal later that week at Allied. I…

Dirk Nowitkzi is adding one more jewel to his crown this week in being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, during a weekend of ceremony and celebration in Springfield, Massachusetts. A first-ballot selection, the Dallas Mavericks legend is joined by a decorated class of inductees, featuring the likes of Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, and Dwyane Wade among others. Festivities will begin on Friday.

Over 21 seasons with the Mavericks, Nowitzki amassed an arena’s worth of recognitions including: 12-time All-NBA, 2007 MVP, 2011 Finals MVP, 2011 NBA Champion, 14-time All Star, as well as being named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. The former ninth overall pick — who in the last 18 months has seen both his Mavericks and German national team jerseys retired, a Dallas street named in his honor, as well as a statue placed outside American Airlines Center in Dallas — becomes the seventh player that wore a Mavericks uniform to be inducted in to the hall, and undoubtedly the most important.

There will be a full slate of activities during the celebration, here are some highlights and how to watch or take part:

Mohegan is focused on growing its digital segment as revenue during the second quarter of 2023 fell slightly in comparison to the previous year.

Publishing its Q2 results, Mohegan declared overall revenue of $415.4m, down 0.4 per cent in comparison to the previous year’s $417.1m. However, Q2’s revenue is an improvement on Q1’s $405.8m.

However, while adjusted EBITDA also declined by 9.5 per cent YoY to $108.7m (2022: $120m), the quarter’s figure was the third-highest quarterly total in the operator’s 26-year history, with the previous year’s figure being the highest.

AEBITDA margin came in at 26.2 per cent, 268 basis points favourable in comparison to Q3 2019 and 262 basis points unfavourable in comparison to Q2 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, Mohegan held cash and cash equivalents of $188.2m and $164.7m, respectively.

Commenting on the results, CEO Raymond Pineault said: “Our consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $108.7m was the third highest quarterly total in our 26-year history, while the prior-year comparable quarter was the highest to date.

“We continue to see strong results from our digital segment and are focused on growing that line of business.”

Per segment, Mohegan’s Digital revenue improved by 56.6 per cent YoY to $16.7m thanks to strong growth in Connecticut and the addition of Ontario. Connecticut online casino gaming win rose by 65 per cent to $42.8m (2022: $26m) with 10,000 active daily players.
