I cover int’l TV from London. I wrote about how sports doc producers navigate a “brutal” landscape, why Amazon is fumbling its U.K. business and the British company behind Netflix’s Adolescence. I’m at manori@theankler.com
“Partnerships” and “collaborations” for survival have been proposed and chewed over more times than I can count in the last 24 months, but a hefty streamer-broadcaster cross-carriage deal out of Europe wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card back in January — let alone three such pacts in the span of one month.
First came the mega deal: Netflix and French commercial broadcaster TF1’s shock distribution partnership in June — which in summer 2026 will see TF1’s live channels (and on-demand content from streamer TF1+) freely available to Netflix members in France as part of their subscription. Unveiled by Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters and TF1 CEO Rodolphe Belmer at Cannes Lions, the tie-up has launched myriad LinkedInmissives about Netflix’s potential future as a linear aggregator.
That the deal happened in France’s tightly regulated market was eyebrow-raising. That, a fortnight later, we saw another pact out of France — public broadcaster France Télévisions partnering with Amazon Prime Video to share its live channels and 20,000-title catalogue with the global streamer (effective immediately!) — was game-changing.
Still, all is not hunky dory within the French production sector, where stakeholders sound baffled by what these deals mean for windowing and future deal-making with the streamers. More on that spicy discord below.
The partnership contagion then headed north to England, where Disney and British commercial broadcaster ITV struck a landmark agreement to share a selection of each other’s original titles on Disney+ and streamer ITVX. The deal went live July 16 and sees promotional units on each service featuring 12 shows. On ITVX, you can watch the first seasons of Andor, Tracker, Atlanta and — yes — even Desperate Housewives, while Disney+’s “A Taste of ITVX” features first seasons of Love Island All Stars, Mr Bates vs the Post Office and Grantchester.

There are nuances that make each of the three deals unique.

Trump’s new AI plan leans heavily on Silicon Valley industry ideas | News, Sports, Jobs

President Donald Trump has unveiled a sweeping new plan for America’s “global dominance” in artificial intelligence, proposing to cut back environmental regulations to speed up the construction of AI supercomputers while promoting the sale of U.S.-made AI technologies at home and abroad.
The “AI Action Plan” introduced Wednesday embraces many of the ideas voiced by tech industry lobbyists and the Silicon Valley investors who backed Trump’s election campaign last year. Trump, who ordered a broad AI strategy after returning to the White House in January, is also expected to sign three executive orders at an afternoon event.
The unveiling is co-hosted by the bipartisan Hill and Valley Forum and the “All-In” podcast, a business and technology show hosted by four tech investors and entrepreneurs, which includes Trump’s AI czar, David Sacks.
The plan includes some familiar tech lobby pitches. That includes accelerating the sale of AI technology abroad and making it easier to construct the energy-hungry data center buildings that are needed to form and run AI products. It also includes some of the AI culture war preoccupations of the circle of venture capitalists who endorsed Trump last year.
Trump had given his tech advisers six months to come up with new AI policies after revoking President Joe Biden’s signature AI guardrails on his first day in office.
The plan prioritizes AI innovation and adoption, urging the removal of any “red tape” that could be slowing down adoption across industries and government.
But it also seeks to guide the industry’s growth to address a longtime rallying point for the tech industry’s loudest Trump backers: countering the liberal bias they see in AI chatbots such as ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini.
Trump’s plan aims to block the government from contracting with tech companies unless they “ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.” A Biden-era framework for evaluating the riskiest AI applications should also be stripped of any references to “misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and climate change,” the plan said.
The plan says the nation’s leading AI models should protect free speech and be “founded on American values,” though it doesn’t define which values those should include.
Sacks, a former PayPal executive and now Trump’s top AI adviser, has been criticizing “woke AI” for more than a year, fueled by Google’s February 2024 rollout of an AI image generator that, when asked to show an American Founding Father, created pictures of Black, Asian and Native American men.
Google quickly fixed its tool, but the “Black George Washington” moment remained a parable for the problem of AI’s perceived political bias, taken up by X owner Elon Musk, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, Vice President JD Vance and Republican lawmakers.
Chief among the plan’s goals is to speed up permitting and loosen environmental regulation to accelerate construction on new data centers and factories. It condemns “radical climate dogma” and recommends lifting a number of environmental restrictions, including clean air and water laws.
Trump has previously paired AI’s need for huge amounts of electricity with his own push to tap into U.S. energy sources, including gas, coal and nuclear.
Many tech giants are already well on their way toward building new data centers in the U.S. and around the world. OpenAI announced this week that it has switched on the first phase of a massive data center complex in Abilene, Texas, part of an Oracle-backed project known as Stargate that Trump promoted earlier this year. Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and xAI also have major projects underway.
The tech industry has pushed for easier permitting rules to get its computing facilities connected to power, but the AI building boom has also contributed to spiking demand for fossil fuel production, which contributes to global warming.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called on the world’s major tech firms to power data centers completely with renewables by 2030.
“A typical AI data center eats up as much electricity as 100,000 homes,” Guterres said. “By 2030, data centers could consume as much electricity as all of Japan does today.”

Hitting the hay earlier might be the simplest way to boost your movement
Want to move more tomorrow? Try going to bed a little earlier tonight.
That’s the takeaway from a new study by researchers at Monash University, Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who found that even modest shifts to an earlier bedtime can lead to significantly more physical activity the next day.
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study, conducted from 2021 to 2022, draws on nearly 6 million nights of sleep and activity data from 20,000 Americans wearing Whoop fitness trackers.
The data showed a clear pattern: earlier bedtimes were linked to more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity the next day. For example, participants who typically went to bed at 9 p.m. logged about 30 more minutes of exercise than those who stayed up until 1 a.m., and 15 minutes more than those who typically went to bed at 11 p.m. (the average bedtime for participants).
Interestingly, when people went to bed earlier than their usual time but still got the same amount of sleep, they tended to log their highest levels of activity the following day, a combination that can be especially impactful.
“Even small changes in when you go to bed may be linked to how active you are the next day,” said Josh Leota, a research fellow at Monash University and lead author of the study, in the Harvard Gazette. “Rather than viewing sleep and exercise as competing for time, we should think about how they can support each other.”
To validate the findings, researchers turned to data from the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program, in which a demographically representative cohort was given a free Fitbit device to participate. While the effects were slightly smaller, likely due to fewer fitness-focused users than Whoop users, the pattern held steady: earlier sleep, more movement.

The study adds to a growing interest in understanding and encouraging the interplay between rest and performance. Equinox Hotels, for instance, is focusing on better rest as the future of hospitality. The brand recently partnered with renowned sleep scientist Dr. Matthew Walker to launch the Equinox Hotels Sleep Lab, an immersive experience at its New York City property designed to optimize guests’ sleep through smart tech, sleep-driven spa rituals and recovery-focused amenities.

Other companies are following suit. Eight Sleep’s new Pod 5 mattress system uses AI to adjust temperature based on biometric signals, while wearables like Somnee, also co-founded by Walker, are designed to help users fall asleep faster and sleep longer. In addition to wearables, mouth tape and sleep-focused experiences, supplements are increasingly being marketed as a way to improve sleep.
Looking ahead, the research team hopes to build on these findings by testing whether earlier bedtimes can cause an increase in physical activity, not just correlate with it.
“We would like to test whether encouraging earlier bedtimes directly leads to more physical activity the next day, within an experimental paradigm,” Leota told the publication. “This would provide strong evidence for updating public health messaging to improve population physical activity levels.”

Fremont goes ‘all-in on AI boom’ with new tenant-less tech campus

FREMONT — Construction of a massive industrial complex in South Fremont began this week, with a development team and city officials holding a groundbreaking ceremony and Mayor Raj Salwan hoping that his city “is where the future gets built.”
The 473,250-square-foot complex spread over six buildings is only missing a key tenant, said Salwan, who added he is “all in on the AI boom.”
“We’re here, not just to break ground, but to lay the foundation for Fremont’s future,” Salwan said Tuesday at the groundbreaking ceremony. “This project deserves a marquee tenant.”
The Campus at Bayside project is from developers CBRE, 9th St. Partners and Clarion Partners, who are searching for companies to open up shop in the Warm Springs neighborhood’s Bayside Technology Park, which is also home to Tesla, Zoox, Bloom Energy and Seagate. In 2022, Clarion bought the nearly 28-acre property located at Lakeview and Gateway boulevards for $123.3 million from developers John Arrillaga and Richard Peery.
The developers said the complex’s need for power is significantly higher than other similar industrial properties in the region. Five of the six buildings are expected to be able to push out 4,000 amps at 480 volts per building.
Salwan invited tech companies with innovative focuses — such as artificial intelligence and air-taxis, or flying passenger vehicles — to consider leasing or buying any or all of the project’s six buildings.
The campus will open in two phases. First, about 250,000 square feet over three buildings will be finished in the middle of next year, with the rest happening at a to-be-determined date.
Salwan called the development “exceedingly rare” in the Bay Area, noting how many tech companies’ work-from-home policies have driven workers out of offices since the coronavirus pandemic. The mayor considered the campus something to celebrate because it is expected to appeal to assembly line-style tech manufacturers.
He also doubled down on his desire to bring more artificial intelligence-focused businesses to the city.
“That’s the future,” Salwan said. “We want to embrace it, and we know that’s going to disrupt a lot of industries.”
Tom Ashcraft, a co-founder for 9th St. Partners, called the development “a much needed project for advanced manufacturing.” He also said companies that could “support the continued growth of AI” would be a good fit for the complex.
Matt Taylor, of CBRE, said the development will be “a unique campus” for the “higher-end motif in the area.”
He also doubled down on his desire to bring more artificial intelligence-focused businesses to the city.
