Sports are an “accelerator” for ad-supported streaming in Europe with short-form sports content emerging as a key driver of engagement, says Keith Bedford, GM EMEA at CTV data company Wurl. “As studios and sports broadcasters struggle to tie in major upfront deals and connect with younger audiences, new models for revenue and content discovery will be required,” he says. “Short-form video could be one way we start to see sports content companies garner interest and boost engagement for their long-form and TVOD (transactional video on demand) businesses.”

Wurl enables content companies to distribute streaming video content to more than 300 million TVs and reach 30 million users globally each month. Its clients include A+E Networks, AMC Networks, Bloomberg, and BBC Studios. It also offers an ad product called AdPool, which pairs streaming inventory with differentiated demand for both channels and streaming partners.  The company was bought for $430 million by AppLovin in 2022.

Entering the RugbyPass TV and FIFA+ scrum

Wurl works with over 25 sports brands, notably World Rugby and FIFA with whom it partners to launch their respective OTT services RugbyPass TV and FIFA+ to CTV platforms in different territories. Both are predominantly archive channels with increasing volumes of live content.

According to Bedford, RugbyPass TV, which launched in 2023, is gearing up to launch on Amazon Prime and other major streamers. “They are out to grow the market. America is a big market for World Rugby where rugby is a growing sport,” he says.

RugbyPass TV streams World Cup matches to fans in territories where broadcast deals are not in place as well as fixtures from tournaments such as the Women’s World Cup 2025 hosted in England this August, the U20’s championship and women’s international competition, WXV.

In addition, RugbyPass TV has over 1,000 hours of archive including historic matches plus fresh behind-the-scenes footage, documentary and interview content produced by World Rugby Studios.

Similarly, FIFA trying to build a global channel with FIFA+ which launched in 2022 on platforms including Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, VIDAA, Rakuten and Roku, localized in 6 different languages.

“Where some rights for certain territories were not sold for the 2024 Women’s World Cup they put the games on FAST and the numbers were huge,” Bedford reports.

Short-form FAST

For younger viewers, in particular, the rise of short-form and social video is a key trend. Platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels are stealing attention from long-form TV content with mobile-first, bite-sized content. Some 15% of YouTube Shorts content is now viewed on CTV.

“Short-form on FAST is early days but brands are looking to tap into that new market,” Bedford says. “It’s certainly something we’re going to see a shift to in FAST.”

The starting point is putting content onto social media outlets and YouTube to entice fans to view the long form on FAST channels. “I see short form as a driver to the long-form content. There are a number of projects we are looking at in this area. When it comes to short form on FAST, the journey is only starting.

“There’s any real proposition there yet. Obviously, it’s got to have to be built into the user interfaces. The fan is going to have to find shorts very quickly. There’s a lot of collaboration needed with companies producing short form to drive consumers to FAST channels. It all has to link up. It’s quite complex to show a short and link to a channel but these are projects we are looking at. It’s a really interesting area.”

Wurl is talking to English Premier League football clubs about how they can better reach fans and  launch DTC services, whether short form or long form. “There’s definitely a lot of interest there. Everybody’s got to look at a short form to long form proposition.”

Europe catching up FAST

Bedford’s focus is on EMEA where 86% of consumers use CTV, with the highest viewership in Spain, followed by the UK. CTV ad investments are rising, with UK spending projected to reach £2.94 billion ($3.8bn) by 2028, according to IAB UK.

Europe is a little behind the curve of the U.S in rollout of FAST predominantly because Europe is a more fragmented market in terms of rights and language distribution and also because of Europe’s deeper and continuing history of free to air TV. Nonetheless top markets like UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France are leading the way. Over the past year, we saw major platforms and broadcasters launch new FAST initiatives, from Titan OS and Virgin Media TV to UK broadcasters [BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5] with the launch of Freely.  Germany saw a 32% increase in CTV channel volume in 2024, growing from a low base.

“German broadcasters ZDF, WDR, and ARD are all looking at FAST and launching channels. Certainly, Europe’s tier one broadcasters are taking FAST very seriously and launching streaming content. It’s just a matter of time before streaming will reach the heights of where we are in the U.S.”

In-stream ad formats

A partnership signed in April with Transmit could propel this change. It is aimed at closing the loop between interactivity and CTV by offering access to in-stream ad formats, such as Picture-in-Picture (PIP), Overlay, and L-bar. “For example, during a live sports broadcast, viewers might see an ad pop up within the content itself during a break in action, rather than having the entire broadcast cut away for a traditional commercial break.”

Bedford says such non-intrusive ad formats enhances viewer retention and reduces churn. “By introducing these new in-stream ad formats we’re not only offering advertisers a more engaging way to reach audiences but also creating new inventory for publishers. This is crucial because many FAST publishers struggle with underutilized ad space, which affects their ability to monetize their content effectively.”

This type of in-stream promo is more prominent in the U.S than Europe, but Bedford thinks brands and fans will take to it. “That’s the beauty of streaming. It can be easily achievable to add extra revenue for the channels during half times or in-game such as when there’s a throw-in. The holy grail for everyone is monetization in FAST and for us the future is looking at getting better attribution using performance marketing tools to generate more income for our clients.”

Author: Zhou Yuan / Wall Street News

Global GPU leader NVIDIA is collaborating with MediaTek to develop high-performance APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), which is planned to be launched as early as early 2026, in partnership with Dell’s gaming brand Alienware to introduce new machines.

If this collaboration materializes, it will break AMD’s monopoly in the APU field and reshape the competitive landscape of the gaming laptop market.

The collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek focuses on the deep integration of heterogeneous computing. The APU will adopt NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture GPU module (speculated to be a simplified version of GB206 or GB207) and integrate MediaTek’s customized Arm architecture CPU cores.

The Blackwell architecture is based on TSMC’s 4nm process, with its third-generation RT Core (Ray Tracing Core) and fourth-generation Tensor Core (dedicated hardware unit) achieving breakthroughs of 2x ray tracing performance improvement and 4x AI inference speed enhancement.

Taking GB206 as an example, it is equipped with 36 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors), 4608 CUDA cores, paired with 128-bit GDDR7 memory, with overall performance expected to be close to the 65W version of the RTX 4070 mobile graphics card, significantly surpassing the existing mobile APU graphics performance.

The new generation CPU core after MediaTek’s Cortex-X925 (similar to the Dimensity 9500 architecture) can provide efficient multitasking capabilities, and after collaborative optimization with the GPU, the overall energy efficiency ratio is improved by about 30%.

By sharing the power supply system and collaborative thermal design, the thermal design power (TDP) of the APU is controlled around 65W, reducing power consumption by about 30% compared to traditional “CPU + discrete GPU” solutions.

MediaTek’s energy efficiency management technology accumulated in the mobile processor field (such as Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) combined with NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.5 super-resolution technology can ensure high performance while extending battery life.

TSMC’s CoWoS advanced packaging technology is used to achieve high-density integration between chips.

TSMC plans to increase CoWoS monthly production capacity to 75,000-80,000 wafers by the end of 2025, with CoWoS-S and CoWoS-L exceeding 20,000 and 45,000 wafers respectively, providing capacity assurance for the mass production of APU.

This packaging technology not only avoids the signal delay issues of traditional multi-chip packaging but also supports future upgrades to HBM4 high-bandwidth memory (expected to be launched in 2026), with data transfer rates reaching 8.0Gbps+.

The strategic intent of this collaboration directly targets two major market opportunities.

First, the performance innovation of gaming laptops.

Currently, the gaming laptop market is dominated by the “discrete graphics card + CPU” mainstream configuration, but the heavy cooling modules and high power consumption limit portability.

The APU solution from NVIDIA and MediaTek, through integrated design, is expected to reduce the thickness of the body by 15%-20% while maintaining performance, meeting users’ demand for “lightweight gaming.”
According to IDC statistics, the global gaming laptop shipment is expected to grow by 9% year-on-year in 2024, with the Chinese market’s shipment expected to reach 9.2 million units by 2028, representing a compound annual growth rate of 4.2%, which provides ample space for high-performance APU.

Market news indicates that Dell’s Alienware new machine may adopt “liquid metal cooling” technology, achieving performance close to a 120W discrete graphics card under a 65W TDP.

Secondly, the computing power upgrade of AI PCs.

With the popularity of generative AI applications, user demand for local computing power has surged.

The integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) in this APU can support tasks such as real-time voice recognition and image generation. The new machine in collaboration with Dell’s Alienware may come pre-installed with NVIDIA’s AI development toolkit, aiming to capture the enterprise-level AI PC market.

According to a Canalys report, global AI PC shipments are expected to exceed 103 million units by 2025, accounting for 40% of total PC shipments, making this field a new battleground for tech giants.

Of course, the collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek will also impact the existing market landscape.

Firstly, it will affect AMD’s market share. AMD’s Ryzen APU, with its “Zen CPU + RDNA GPU” combination, holds an advantage in the thin and light laptop market.

AMD’s latest Strix Halo APU integrated graphics performance is already close to RTX 3080, and it further optimizes energy efficiency through FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) technology.

Additionally, AMD’s collaboration with TSMC on 3nm process technology (such as the Instinct MI355X accelerator) may strengthen its position in the high-performance computing field.

Secondly, Intel will also be impacted by this collaboration. Currently, Intel is accelerating the advancement of “Intel 4” process and Arc graphics card technology, with its Meteor Lake processors achieving integration of CPU, GPU, and NPU through Foveros packaging.

At the same time, Intel’s AI PC ecosystem in collaboration with Microsoft (such as Windows Copilot) may compensate for hardware performance gaps through software optimization.

It is worth noting that Intel plans to use TSMC’s 3nm process for its Falcon Shores AI chip, which may directly target NVIDIA’s APU layout.

The collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek marks the entry of APU technology into the “high-performance era.”

Product forms may see technological innovations not seen in years. Thin and light gaming laptops may become mainstream, and traditional gaming laptop manufacturers will need to redesign cooling modules and industrial designs. Dell’s Alienware new machine may adopt “fanless” or “liquid metal cooling” technology, further reducing the size of the device.

Industry standards will also be restructured. The popularity of APU may promote the application of open standards such as UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express), facilitating interoperability of chips from different manufacturers
NVIDIA’s recently launched NVLink Fusion technology has provided a technical foundation for cross-vendor hardware collaboration.

With changes in product forms and industry standards, market competition will also intensify. AMD may accelerate the integration of the Zen 5 architecture with RDNA 4 GPUs, and Intel may increase its investment in Arc graphics cards. Will Qualcomm, Apple, and other manufacturers be eager to join the PC APU competition?

In any case, this technological race will ultimately benefit consumers, driving gaming laptops towards higher performance and lower power consumption.

The APU collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek is an important milestone in the semiconductor industry’s trend of “heterogeneous computing.” This technological breakthrough, market positioning, and impact on the industry chain are all worth close attention

Betsson will be refunded €26.7 million after withdrawing from the acquisition deal.

Swedish-headquartered Betsson has terminated its agreement to acquire Holland Gaming Technology and Holland Power Gaming in favour of pursuing other business opportunities.

Betsson agreed to acquire Netherlands-licensed operator Holland Gaming and games studio Holland Power Gaming in February 2024. The deal was valued at €27.5 million ($31.4 million).

Completion of the double acquisition was subject to approval by Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA). However, as the KSA did not issue a decision by the agreed long-stop date, Betsson elected to withdraw from the deal.

As such, the purchase price, minus the break fee, will be returned to Betsson. In total, the group will receive back €26.7 million. Betsson said the unwinding will not have any notable effect on its consolidated income statement.

Does Betsson have a future in the Netherlands?

The acquisition would have seen Betsson re-enter the regulated Dutch market. Under the deal, Holland Power Gaming would have continued to supply games exclusively for Holland Gaming Technology.

Betsson was pursuing a licence of its own in the Netherlands but withdrew its application in July 2023. The group blamed “significant delays” in the approval process for the decision.

Betsson was previously operational in the country but has been inactive since exiting the market in September of 2021. Its withdrawal came one day before the Dutch regulated iGaming market launched.

At the time, Betsson said it hoped this would facilitate a future entry to the country’s legal market. Operators offering iGaming without a licence may face disciplinary action and this could impact any licence applications to operate in the market legally.

Incidentally, in March Betsson was ordered to repay a customer more than €500,000 after a player lost funds while gambling on websites that were unlicensed. The Rotterdam District Court ruled Betsson was liable to repay the funds on the case that dated back to 2014, when iGaming was not legal in the Netherlands.

Michigan State announced Monday that J Batt was selected to be its vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics.

Batt has been Georgia Tech’s athletic director since the fall of 2022.

“J has an impressive record at several Power 5 schools and an impeccable reputation as a strong and innovative leader,” MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz said in a news release. “He will bring experience, excitement and a commitment to elevating Spartan athletics to the next level.”

With the help of Hall of Fame basketball coach Tom Izzo, who called Batt’s selection “a key moment in the history of Michigan State Athletics,” the school had been searching for an athletic director for a month. Alan Haller’s last day as AD was May 11.

The university’s Board of Trustees, which approved the selection, is scheduled to vote on Batt’s hiring on June 13.

An introductory news conference is scheduled for Wednesday.

Batt hired Georgia Tech football coach Brent Key, who has led the program to consecutive winning seasons after a string of four losing seasons in a row. He also hired Damon Stoudamire to coach the basketball team. The former NBA player was .500 last season in his second year.

Previously, Batt was executive deputy athletic director at Alabama and served as chief operating officer and chief revenue officer in the athletic department.

Batt is regarded as a strong fundraiser, an asset for any athletic department in this era of college athletics.

He guided the launch of a 10-year, $600 million fundraising campaign to benefit Crimson Tide athletics. He helped raise $78.2 million for athletics in his first fiscal year at Georgia Tech to surpass the previous single-year mark by more than 40%.

At Michigan State, his top priorities will be to raise money and help the football program win — perhaps in that order.

“This is truly an amazing opportunity to lead an outstanding, tradition-rich and passionate program, and I am grateful to President Guskiewicz and the Board of Trustees for the opportunity,” Batt said in the release.

Universities will be allowed to share up to $20.5 million in revenue with athletes next year. Direct payments will be in addition to third-party name, image and likeness deals facilitated by school-affiliated collectives.

Under Haller, the Spartans won Big Ten championships in men’s basketball, women’s soccer, women’s gymnastics, men’s hockey and women’s cross country.

Michigan State, though, has had three straight losing seasons in football.

The Spartans were 5-7 overall and 3-6 in the Big Ten in coach Jonathan Smith’s first year and expectations for them are modest in his second season.

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.
