What is Press Play?
Press Play is a weekly video game show created, hosted, written, and produced entirely by Bryan Clevenger.
New episodes premiere every Monday at 8 PM on the KTAL Now CTV app, with episodes releasing on YouTube the following day.
The idea for the show started when Bryan’s workplace, KTAL, launched its streaming platform. As a lifelong gamer, he saw an opportunity to create something that combined his love of games, entertainment, and television production.
That idea became Press Play.
Not a Traditional Gaming News Show
Press Play isn’t built around corporate buzzwords or industry jargon.
Bryan isn’t trying to be the next investigative gaming journalist — and he’s perfectly fine with that.
Instead, Press Play focuses on what gaming is supposed to be:
fun, exciting, creative, and entertaining.
The show mixes reviews, gaming news, humor, commentary, and personality into something designed for both hardcore players and casual viewers alike.
Bryan may not claim to be the best gamer in the room, but he knows how to recognize what makes a game memorable — and how to make talking about games entertaining to watch.
The goal isn’t to rush through every campaign or spoil every story.
The goal is simple:
“That was entertaining.”
“I kinda want to play that now.”
Built Independently
ress Play is a fully independent production.
Everything is handled by Bryan himself:
- Writing
- Hosting
- Editing
- Voiceovers
- Graphics
- Production
- Publishing
There are no outside writers or editors behind the scenes.
Every episode is built from the ground up as a personal creative project — something Bryan takes pride in building himself.
Press Play isn’t just content.
It’s his creative outlet.
Made for Every Type of Gamer
Press Play is designed for all kinds of players, including:
- Competitive gamers
- Military sim fans
- Retro collectors
- Indie game supporters
- VR players
- Casual gamers
- Viewers who simply enjoy gaming culture
The show also avoids heavy spoilers whenever possible, allowing viewers to experience games for themselves.
The Vision for the Future
The current goal is straightforward:
Become one of the top-performing shows on the KTAL Now CTV platform.
Long-term, the vision for Press Play includes:
- Expanding across YouTube and digital platforms
- Growing a larger gaming community
- Covering more live events and gaming culture
- Hosting charity streams and special events
- Partnering with community initiatives like KTAL Cares
- Continuing to evolve beyond traditional reviews
Because gaming is more than content.
It’s community.
And Press Play aims to bring together players and fans from every corner of gaming culture — no matter how niche the game may be.
What to Expect
If you watch Press Play, you can expect:
- Honest reactions
- A mix of humor and professionalism
- Creative editing

- And occasionally… complete chaos
Hopefully, after watching, you’ll want to tune in again next Monday.
