Helping them discover stories worth following. Helping them connect with athletes, teams, and competitions in a meaningful way.Mon, 06 Jul 2026 10:05:47 ESThttps://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=175596https://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=175596ITV is to sell its media and entertainment division, including its broadcast channels and ITVX streaming service, to Sky for ?1.6 billion ($2.1bn), marking one of the most consequential restructurings in modern British broadcasting.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has compared the undertaking to "104 Super Bowls," with a global audience of six billion predicted to watch some of the 104 matches packed into 39 days from 16 venues across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. For 2026, FIFA is deploying 16 dedicated venue crews ? one per stadium ? rather than rotating a smaller pool. They will be supported by seven centralized replay teams based in Dallas.
