ESPN had a number of significant media rights renewals, locking up the NCAA Championships (non-men’s hoops), the “A” package of NBA and WNBA rights, U.S. Open tennis and the College Football Playoff (while sublicensing some games to TNT). ESPN also creatively brought over TNT’s award-winning “Inside the NBA” studio show. The company continued to innovate with technology, airing an NFL game with “The Simpsons” theme and a Disney World-set NBA game on Christmas Day, while also integrating ESPN Bet into its ESPN app.
Fox Sports
Fox Sports rolled out the biggest on-air personality change of the year with Tom Brady in its top NFL booth, creating discussion all season long about the G.O.A.T. The NFL season culminated when Fox set a record with Super Bowl LIX as the most-watched telecast ever in the U.S. The company renewed as the “A” partner for the Big East and added IndyCar, LIV Golf, MotoGP and the UEFA Women’s Euros. Fox invested more in college hoops, launching the Women’s Championship Classic, Coretta Scott King Classic and College Basketball Crown. Baseball coverage recorded an audience uptick for the MLB All-Star Game and first game at Rickwood Field.

NBCUniversal
NBCUniversal surprised the sports world and came back as an NBA media partner for the first time in more than a quarter-century. NBCU innovated for the Paris Olympics, showing more live afternoon coverage than ever. U.S. audiences responded on TV and streaming (not to mention with a strong reception for Snoop Dogg). The strategy of content in the afternoons and in prime time set a new path in how NBC will cover future Olympics. NBC overall had its most-watched year since 2016, with superlatives including the best Kentucky Derby audience in 35 years and a record season for the Premier League in the U.S.

Netflix
Netflix made its boldest moves yet into the sports media space, with a three-year deal for two NFL games annually on Christmas. A Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight — despite some livestreaming issues — was one of the most popular titles on Netflix all year. The company acquired rights to the next two FIFA Women’s World Cups and rolled out coverage of WWE’s “Raw” with a flashy affair at Intuit Dome. Netflix also continued to position itself as the home of top-tier sports documentary work, including “Mr. McMahon,” “Simone Biles Rising” and the always-popular “Drive to Survive.”

Prime Video
Prime Video set another audience record for its NFL “Thursday Night Football” package and aired its first NFL Wild Card playoff game. It hit audience goals that secured the Wild Card for the duration of its NFL media deal. On the rights front, Prime landed a package of NBA games for the first time, starting in 2025-26 (along with keeping WNBA coverage). Prime continued to invest in sports documentaries, such as “It’s In The Game: Madden NFL,” “Federer: 12 Final Days” and “Evolution of the Black Quarterback.”

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.

Jim Cramer and Wall Street Are Watching DraftKings Inc. (DKNG)

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:

- 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.
