UK moves to keep World Cup and Premier League on free-to-air as streaming era tightens

Westminster has moved to extend free-to-air protections for World Cup and Premier League fixtures, gambling that a 70-year-old public-service compact can survive a streaming market that now sets the price of every other sports right on the shelf.

Desk note: Monexus frames this as a structural collision between a streaming-led rights market and a public-service broadcast tradition that ministers still consider binding. The wires have largely treated it as a policy story; we read it as a stress test of the UK's post-liberal broadcasting settlement.
