Bloomberg: Apple Considering Bid for English Premier League Streaming Rights in the UK
From the report:
The rights under consideration would allow Apple to show Premier League games in the UK, as well as lower league matches run by the English Football League, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private.
If Apple went ahead with the plan, it would become the fourth major player in contention to purchase domestic broadcasting rights for top-flight soccer (or football, as it’s called outside North America).
That would likely see a marked increase in the current £5.1 billion ($6.23 billion) valuation for domestic EPL rights, which operates on a three-year renewal cycle. Tender rights are currently being reviewed, with existing rights for the current three-year period set to expire in 2025.
Recent years have seen bidding wars play out between Sky Sports, BT Sport, and Amazon Prime Video, with Sky Sports often being the dominant player, although Amazon has been increasingly wielding its bidding power in recent years. Packaging terms ensure that no one broadcaster gains rights to all English Premier League matches, so any Apple deal for EPL broadcasting rights would necessarily fall short of the exclusivity deal the company successfully negotiated with MLS.
Apple has been pursuing sports content in an effort to attract new viewers to the Apple TV+ streaming service. The company has signed deals with Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, which is currently available on Apple TV+ via an MLS Season Pass priced at $14.99 per month or $99 per season. Apple has also reportedly expressed interest in acquiring an NBA streaming package.
Apple TV+ is also the home of hit sports comedy drama “Ted Lasso,” in which an American college football coach is hired to coach an English soccer team.

Germany considering copying Britain and doing its own Rwanda-style migrants deal
GERMANY is considering copying Britain and doing its own Rwanda-style migrants deal.
It comes as MPs in the Commons will tomorrow vote on Rishi Sunak’s landmark new Bill to “stop the boats”.
As Europe plunges deeper into a migrant crisis, German politicians are calling for their own version of the Rwanda migrants deal to combat the chaos[/caption]
A German version of the Rwanda scheme is popular with Free Democratic Party politician, Joachim Stamp, who urged his government to consider a similar plan[/caption]
Sir Keir Starmer is set to order Labour MPs to vote against it.
But senior German politician Joachim Stamp said Berlin should consider a similar plan.
Deporting migrants to countries in North Africa might be the only way for Europe to cope with the migration crisis, he added.
A Home Office source said: “It is understandable our plans are being looked at by European countries.”
A Home Office source said: “All of Europe is struggling with the same migration crisis. The numbers arriving are spiralling.
“It is understandable our ground-breaking plans to send illegal immigrants to safe other countries – like Rwanda – are being looked at by European countries.
“And it appears they are already looking at it in Germany.
“The people of Europe will not stomach mass illegal migration and chaos at their borders for much longer.”
Mr Sunak has staked his political career on stopping the boats.
Over 45,000 migrants arrived on dinghies last year and there are predictions it could rocket to 80,000 this year.
The Bill would deport all Channel migrants and ban them from claiming asylum.

11 US States are Now Considering ‘Right to Repair’ Laws for Farming Equipment
The tractor’s manufacturer doesn’t allow Wood to make certain fixes himself, and last spring his fertilizing operations were stalled for three days before the servicer arrived to add a few lines of missing computer code for $950. “That’s where they have us over the barrel, it’s more like we are renting it than buying it,” said Wood, who spent $300,000 on the used tractor.
Wood’s plight, echoed by farmers across the country, has pushed lawmakers in Colorado and 10 other states to introduce bills that would force manufacturers to provide the tools, software, parts and manuals needed for farmers to do their own repairs — thereby avoiding steep labor costs and delays that imperil profits….
The manufacturers argue that changing the current practice with this type of legislation would force companies to expose trade secrets. They also say it would make it easier for farmers to tinker with the software and illegally crank up the horsepower and bypass the emissions controller — risking operators’ safety and the environment…. “I know growers, if they can change horsepower and they can change emissions they are going to do it,” said Russ Ball, sales manager at 21st Century Equipment, a John Deere dealership in Western states.
The bill’s proponents acknowledged that the legislation could make it easier for operators to modify horsepower and emissions controls, but argued that farmers are already able to tinker with their machines and doing so would remain illegal.
The article quotes Wood’s representative in Congress, who also argues that local dealerships in rural areas would be impacted by the legislation. “I do sympathize with my farmers,” he’s quoted as saying, but added “I don’t think it’s the role of government to be forcing the sale of their intellectual property.”
