Content delivery network provider Netskrt's "State of the ISP Survey" found that live sporting events are the global infrastructure's most daunting streaming challenge and that the biggest worry is traffic generated by American football. The long-term study - conducted between May and August 2025 - includes input from 55 global internet service providers (ISPs). Almost eight in ten survey respondents (78%) said sports cause them the most concern related to streaming reliability. Of these, 70% pointed to American football as the most challenging sport to deliver. International football (soccer) is quickly approaching similar levels.

YouTube TV is getting ready to launch two major updates that will allow you to watch multiple non-sports channels simultaneously, as well as choose from 10 new paid plans focused on a range of topics, including sports, entertainment, and news. In his annual letter to users, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan says both of these changes will arrive "soon." YouTube TV has been slowly expanding its multiview feature over the past few years.

That information could become no longer available strictly in a static piece of content, but transformed into different shapes and formats, based on a reader's signals and preferences.

"Until maybe eight years ago, television in and of itself was a very clean and tidy well-lit marketplace. It was very clear and easy to understand this television universe. "What's happened is, with the rise of streaming, particularly through the pandemic, we're seeing streaming begin to rival and sometimes exceed linear viewership. "And that has created a massive amount of fragmentation for the television universe."
