Proposals to keep 'crown jewel' sports free on streaming services

The UK government is proposing new legislation to keep major sporting events free to stream. The proposal aims to prevent events like the World Cup from being placed behind a paywall for UK viewers. This move seeks to ensure that certain high-profile sports remain accessible to the public. The legislation would protect these events, considered "crown jewels" of sports, from being restricted to paid streaming services.
