Comcast debuts soccer-focused video package ahead of World Cup
FILE PHOTO: The Official FIFA World Cup Trophy is seen before a news conference in New York City, New York, U.S., June 17, 2022. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz/File Photo (Reuters) -Internet and media giant Comcast launched a soccer-focused video package exclusively for its Xfinity customers on Wednesday, as it looks to attract sports fans ahead of major events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Comcast has priced the offering, called "World Soccer Ticket", at $85 a month. The bundle includes nearly 60 broadcast, cable news, and sports channels, along with a premium subscription of NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service. As cord cutting continues to hit traditional TV revenue, live sports content has emerged as one of the few formats that still draw millions of eyeballs and boost advertising demand. The package comes ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Every match of the quadrennial tournament will be available in English on Fox and in Spanish across Telemundo, Universo, and Peacock, Comcast said on Wednesday. The plan will also offer live coverage of major international leagues and competitions, including Premier League, UEFA Champions League, LaLiga, Liga MX and CONCACAF Champions Cup. Besides, the package will include live coverage of other major sports and leagues like the NFL and NBA on the package's networks and Peacock. Customers can access the package through X1 set-top box and Xfinity Stream TV app on supported platforms like Apple TV and Fire TV. Comcast's new offering is expected to drive demand for its networks like NBC and boost subscriber growth for its flagship streaming platform, Peacock, which had 41 million paid subscribers at the end of June, far fewer than rival platforms. Media companies are aggressively pursuing major sports deals to strengthen their streaming platforms. The newly merged Paramount secured exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to the Ultimate Fighting Championship for seven years in a $7.7 billion deal on Monday.

Goh Cheng Liang remembered as a hardworking boss who cared for his employees
SINGAPORE: Goh Cheng Liang, Singapore's richest man in Forbes' 2025 list of global billionaires, was fondly remembered by close associates and employees for being a hardworking, caring boss. The founder of paint and coatings company Wuthelam Group died on Tuesday (Aug 12) morning at the age of 98 from prostate cancer, which he had lived with for 31 years. Goh held a majority stake in Japan's Nippon Paint Holdings and had an estimated net worth of US$13 billion (S$16.7 billion), according to Forbes. At his wake at the Garden of Remembrance, a Christian columbarium in Choa Chu Kang, those close to Goh told The Straits Times that the paint tycoon often stressed the importance of hard work and frugality to his employees. He was also known for remembering personal details about them, including the well-being of their children. Ong Chin Han, a sales manager at Nippon Paint Singapore, said when Goh used to visit the firm's factory in Jurong, he would arrive at lunch time and encourage employees to take their break, rather than ask about their work progress. 'Mr Goh took the effort to deeply understand his employees,' said Ong, who has been with the company for more than 37 years. 'Outside of work, he was very low profile and dressed simply, so people would not realise he was a big boss,' he added. Ong, who last saw Goh eight years ago, also said he was a generous man. 'I remember my father telling me he once 'had lunch' with Goh – I did not believe him at first, but I later found out Goh was dining in the same restaurant and had paid for everyone's meal,' he said. Budi Fintobuna, the president commissioner of Nippon Paint Indonesia, said he started working for Goh when he was 20 years old. 'Mr Goh wanted kind, loyal and honest people to support his business,' said Fintobuna, who flew into Singapore for the wake. 'Under him, I learnt the importance of being honest, hard working and was so successful because he was thrifty and never gave up.' Fintobuna said his boss visited Indonesia frequently between 1970 and 1980. In the early 1980s, Nippon Paint Indonesia - previously a joint venture between its Japanese shareholders and Goh - was sold to him following the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment during that period. 'When he came to Indonesia, (Goh) loved to sail and fish – we both loved the sea,' said Fintobuna. 'We would speak in English sometimes, but then he would speak to me in Malay just to joke around.' Fintobuna also said that Goh was a risk taker. 'If he liked a property, he would just buy it – there was no need for said that if you took too long to decide, someone else would buy it,' said Fintobuna. Li Shu Wei, Goh's most recent caretaker, said the tycoon enjoyed visiting hot springs in China, Taiwan and Japan. In his later years, when he needed a wheelchair during his trips, he would often say: 'Thank you, you have worked hard.' 'When Goh was in his eighties, he was still quite mobile. I was afraid he might fall, so I suggested he use a walking stick. But he was very strong-willed and told me he was strong and did not need it,' he said. 'It was only after three or four years that he finally agreed to use one.' Goh is survived by three children, Goh Hup Jin, Goh Chuen Jin and Goh Chiat Jin, as well as eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. The wake will run until Aug 14. Among the attendees were Singapore Exchange chairman Koh Boon Hwee, who was chairman of Wuthelam Group from 1991 to 2000; former MP Ker Sin Tze; UOB Bank chief executive Wee Ee Cheong; and former foreign minister George Yeo. - The Straits Times/ANN

Red Bull buy English rugby strugglers Newcastle
LONDON: Red Bull further extended their interests in sport on Tuesday by investing in rugby union for the first time by taking over English top-flight strugglers Newcastle. The Austria-based energy drinks company already has significant interests in football, motor racing and winter sports. The club will now be known as Newcastle Red Bulls. Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull CEO corporate projects and investments, said their aim was to 'empower the club to reach its full competitive potential'. They face an uphill task as they take over a club that has failed to sparkle in recent years, finishing bottom in the past three Premiership campaigns. Semore Kurdi, who had been majority owner since 2011, put Newcastle up for sale towards the end of last year. 'Red Bull's takeover of Newcastle is a landmark moment for our sport and a powerful endorsement of our vision and strategy for the future of the PREM,' PREM chief executive Simon Massie-Taylor said in a statement, using the new name for the rebranded Premiership. 'We are hugely excited by Red Bull's ambition for the club, which includes developing the player pathway in the North East and growing the club's fanbase,' he added. He said Red Bull's 'track record in global sport' would bring 'enormous value not only to Newcastle but to the PREM as a whole'. There will be no upheavals at the top with the vastly-experienced Steve Diamond remaining the club's director of rugby. The Newcastle players will get a chance to show their qualities to their new owners when they get their season underway with a home match against six-time champions Saracens on September 26. But while Red Bull have won six Formula One constructors' championships and eight drivers' world titles, Diamond warned the new regime would take time to make its presence felt at Newcastle -- although it would deliver success. 'We'll be looking at world-class facilities, world-class players, world-class coaches coming to Newcastle over the next three or four years to hopefully dominate in the future,' Diamond told a conference call. He added: 'The situation has happened at a difficult time for recruiting, so the main job I've been doing for the last four weeks is getting my ducks in a row to have a competitive team for September.' Diamond, however, is in no doubt of the importance of Red Bull's investment given Newcastle's nearest rival Premiership club is Sale, more than 100 miles away. 'It future-proofs the professional game in the North East and the north,' he said. - AFP
