TORONTO (AP) — Amazon's Prime Video will exclusively broadcast Wednesday night national NHL regular-season games in Canada in English and French beginning next season as part of a new 12-year licensing agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. announced Tuesday.
The streaming service will also carry select Stanley Cup playoff series, including two first-round series and one second-round matchup annually.
The agreement spans the length of Rogers' $11 billion, 12-year deal with the NHL for national media rights on all platforms in Canada through the 2037-38 season. Terms were not disclosed.
"We're thrilled to expand our partnership with the NHL and Rogers in this landmark agreement, which brings even more premium live sports to Prime members in Canada," said Jay Marine, head of global sports at Prime Video.
Prime Video's lineup will include at least 26 national regular-season games, starting Sept. 30, and will be available to Prime subscribers in Canada at no additional cost; Rogers-owned Sportsnet retains the majority of national NHL games. A Rogers spokesperson said the playoff allocation will follow a draft format: Prime Video will receive the fourth and fifth selections among the eight first-round series and the third choice among the four second-round matchups.

SpaceX (SPCX) is poised to sink further after the stock hit a new all-time low Monday, days after a successful test of its Starship rocket. The surprising drop indicates that investor caution toward the newly public company persists, despite hitting an important launch milestone.
SpaceX shares are down nearly 4% in pre-market trade, this after dropping to $109.53 on Monday, before closing down 1.4% at $113.50. Shares have shed nearly 30% from the stock's $150 market debut last month, and are down an astounding 50% from its all-time high of $225.64.
Concern seems to be growing ahead of **** eX's big second quarter earnings report set for August 4th, with a big share unlock happening on August 6th. Per **** eX's lock-up period plan, as many as 20% of shares are eligible to be sold.
The rising angst among **** eX investors comes after Starship launched Friday evening from Starbase, Texas, on its 13th test flight, the first since **** eX's June IPO. Starship deployed all 20 of its next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, relit an engine in **** e, and made what **** eX called its softest ocean splashdown yet.
"I'm a little over the moon right now," **** eX spokesperson Dan Huot said on the company's livestream. "Lucky number 13."

European football officials have issued a renewed directive on the use of Video ****** istant Referees (VAR), stressing that the technology should only intervene in cases of "blatantly incorrect" decisions or clear missed incidents.
The move follows a significant meeting last week involving referee chiefs from all 55 national ****** ociations and representatives from the International Football ****** ociation Board (Ifab), the body responsible for the game's laws.
The consensus reached aims to streamline officiating and reduce the impact of lengthy reviews.
A Uefa release stated: "VAR must only intervene in situations of 'clear and obvious' error, i.e. when a referee decision is blatantly incorrect or when the referee has missed a clear incident. VAR is not meant to re-referee the game, it is an essential support to the referees, who must remain at the centre of all decision-making. Lengthy, microscoping reviews are often a symptom revealing that the decision on the field was not clearly and obviously incorrect, and should therefore be limited."

Baker Hughes raised its 2026 Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) order outlook after posting record second-quarter bookings, as surging investment in LNG export facilities, gas-fired power generation and data center infrastructure continued to fuel demand for its equipment and services.
The company reported second-quarter orders of $10.5 billion, up 49% from a year earlier, while IET orders more than doubled to a record $7.1 billion. Remaining performance obligations reached a record $40.1 billion, including $37.1 billion for the IET segment, providing increased visibility into future revenue. Revenue totaled $6.74 billion, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $1.23 billion, exceeding the high end of the company's guidance range.
Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said Baker Hughes benefited from continued strength in data centers, gas infrastructure and upstream markets despite operational challenges in the Middle East. He said the company now expects to reach the midpoint of its full-year guidance while increasing its Horizon 2 (2026-2028) IET orders target to more than $45 billion.
The record order intake was supported by a series of major LNG and power generation contracts. During the quarter, Baker Hughes secured equipment awards from Venture Global, Cheniere Energy, Golar LNG and Nigeria LNG, alongside large power generation orders from Dynamis Power Solutions and Kodiak Gas Services to support growing electricity demand from data centers and energy infrastructure across North America.
Oilfield Services & Equipment also outperformed expectations despite geopolitical disruptions. Segment EBITDA exceeded guidance as activity improved in the Middle East late in the quarter, while North America land operations and Latin America delivered solid results. However, segment revenue remained 5% below the prior year, reflecting ****** et divestitures and regional disruptions.

Big Ten Media Days are one of the most anticipated offseason events of the summer, setting the stage for what should be a thrilling 2026 season packed with massive storylines across the conference.
The Big Ten has crowned a different national champion in each of the past three seasons, meaning anyone in the conference has a chance to win it all in 2026.
Oregon enters the year as a popular pick to break through after four stellar seasons under head coach Dan Lanning. However, defending national champion Indiana returns off one of the most stunning turnarounds in recent memory and now has to prove it wasn't a one-year fluke.
Ohio State, meanwhile, opens the season as the nation's top-ranked team in several projection models despite a major defensive overhaul, and USC's revamped defense under new coordinator Gary Patterson could make the Trojans one of the conference's most intriguing wild cards.

Folksy wisdom holds that the surest way to make money during a gold rush was to sell shovels rather than swing picks. As with many emerging industries, quantum computing could be reviving that old dynamic, at least for a while, and it's no surprise why.
In particular, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) -- none of which earn a meaningful sum from quantum yet -- could prove to be the best upstream providers to the quantum computing industry. The whole industry could be worth as much as $4.4 billion by 2028, according to research by McKinsey, up from being worth $1 billion today.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Which of these three businesses is best positioned to capture a slice of that growth, not to mention whatever happens in the long run?
Nvidia doesn't build a quantum chip, and it might not ever.

Tadej Pogacar won a record-equalling fifth Tour de France over the weekend. What better time, then, to read this 2013 memoir by a cyclist who won precisely nothing?
Cycling teams are built around ensuring one rider wins; teammates ride in front of the star for slipstreaming, set the pace on climbs, or even give up bike parts in case of a breakdown. Wegelius was one such "domestique." It is a "must-read," says the biking blog Velominati, and "it is a pleasure to read a book about modern cycling that is not a drug exposé."

NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - The former JPMorgan Chase banker whose lurid **** ual harassment lawsuit went viral added new claims and defendants on Monday, saying the largest U.S. bank's acceptance of racism and **** ual coercion irreparably destroyed his career.
Chirayu Rana said racism was ingrained in the culture of his otherwise all-white leveraged finance team, where his South Asian heritage "became the punchline for a stream of degrading jokes," including calling him a "monkey" and "brown boy."
JPMorgan has said it believed Rana's allegations were meritless. Neither the bank nor its lawyers had an immediate comment.
In an 82-page complaint, Rana, who is of Nepali descent, added allegations that colleagues suggested he transact in rupees, and one texted that he should "run before we call ICEE {sic} on your family," referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A Christmas sweater. A case of pink eye. A Hallmark movie set.
That's how Descendants: Wicked Wonderland star Malia Baker says her Hollywood career began. At 11, the Vancouver native snuck onto a set and walked away with her first acting credit.
Yahoo's kid correspondent, Gigi — yes, my daughter — is 11 now. She's the one interviewing Baker about her unlikely origin story and how she went from set crasher to a Disney princess who's currently starring in the fifth Descendants movie. Now airing on Disney Channel and streaming on Disney+, the film reveals a darker side of Baker's character, Chloe Charming, the daughter of Cinderella. Can you say evil Chloe?
Speaking to Gigi, the 19-year-old actor, also known for Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club, answers the kinds of questions only a preteen may ask. For instance: What's the name of the Descendants text chat? Does she have any squishies? What are the names of her pets?
Before long, though, the conversation turns to growing up — pursuing dreams, finding your people and the advice Baker wishes she'd gotten before starting middle school. Take it away, Gigi …

CUMBERLAND – What is now a shopping plaza that includes a Stop & Shop and a McDonald's holds a noted place in American auto racing history: It is the site of the first sanctioned stock car race in the United States outside the South.
Not only would the first stock car races in the North be held in ***** berland, but the national championship would be decided there.
On Oct. 26, 1947, Fonty Flock, of Atlanta, won the national championship race on the one-third-mile, high-banked, paved oval track of the Lonsdale Sports Arena off Mendon Road on the bank of the Blackstone River, just downstream from Pratt Dam.
A crowd of 18,000 watched the seven races that Sunday afternoon, part of a program sanctioned by National Stock Car Circuit head Bill France, who, a couple of months later, would become head of the newly formed NASCAR, the governing body of stock car auto racing.
Only days before the history-making auto races, Lonsdale Sports Arena made history in another sport: The bowl-shaped arena hosted 32,000 spectators in what was the largest football crowd ever in Rhode Island at that time, as Cranston High School beat La Salle Academy, 20-2. The huge crowd snarled traffic for hours in the area.

Our ******* ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Gross margin expanded 530 basis points to 35.7%, driven by a shift toward high-margin, less cyclical revenue streams including brokerage, finance, insurance, and marina operations.
Management attributed the 7% decline in same-store sales to broader industry softness and lower unit volumes, though the company claims to be outperforming general industry trends.
Boat margins improved for the second consecutive quarter as industry inventory levels began to normalize, reducing the need for aggressive promotional activity.
The premium end of the marine market remains more resilient than value segments, aligning with the company's core product portfolio and customer base.

Broadcom's Hock Tan guided Q3 AI chip revenue to $16 billion, up over 200% year-over-year, while TSMC guided full-year 2026 revenue growth above 40%.
Laffont's five holdings form a closed AI infrastructure loop spanning power, fabrication, tools, and custom silicon, with four of the five currently rated BUY.
Act now: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Philippe Laffont's Coatue Management just showed its hand: the latest 13F filing (holdings as of March 31, 2026) parks its biggest chips on a single trade: the AI infrastructure buildout. The five names below, all US-listed, represent Laffont's largest long common-stock and ADR positions. One of them just booked $10.80 billion in AI semiconductor revenue in a single quarter, growing 143% year-over-year. The setup is worth understanding before it reprices.
Every AI accelerator on this list is useless without electrons. That is why GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) is the most surprising name in Laffont's tech basket: it sits one level upstream of the chips, building the gas turbines, grid equipment, and electrification hardware that hyperscalers are now ordering by the gigawatt. This is the AI trade one level upstream of NVIDIA. Q1 2026 revenue rose 15.8% year-over-year to $9.30 billion, but the real signal was orders: $18.30 billion, up 71% organically, with Electrification booking $2.4 billion in data center equipment orders in Q1 alone, more than all of 2025. CEO Scott Strazik put it plainly: "Demand is accelerating for our Power and Electrification solutions... backlog growing by more than $13 billion quarter-over-quarter."

One of the most anticipated nonconference matchups of the upcoming NCAA basketball season between Duke and reigning national champion Michigan has been called off because of broadcast rights issues.
Duke will instead face Texas Tech on Dec. 21 at Madison Square Garden, multiple media outlets, including ESPN, reported on Friday.
Michigan and Duke met for the first time in more than a decade this past regular season, with the Blue Devils coming out on top 68-63 in the Feb. 21 matchup held at the home of the Washington Wizards.
The rematch was slated for Dec. 21 and was supposed to be streamed on Amazon Prime as part of Duke's three-game deal. The game was initially set for Madison Square Garden and then moved to Loan Depot Park in Miami before its eventual cancellation.
The game has now returned to the iconic New York City venue and will instead feature Duke against Texas Tech — one of the two teams to beat the Blue Devils in the 2025-26 regular season.

IBM lowered its full-year revenue forecast on Wednesday after posting second-quarter results that fell short of **** yst expectations, capping a difficult stretch for the technology company following a profit warning issued the week before.
The company said it has revised its 2026 constant-currency revenue growth target to a range of 4% to 5%, retreating from the more than 5% it had previously projected. IBM maintained its forecast for free cash flow to increase by about $1 billion year over year.
Second-quarter revenue came in at $17.16 billion, up 1% from a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share were $2.93. **** ysts had expected revenue of $17.58 billion and adjusted earnings of $2.97 per share, according to CNBC.
IBM's software segment brought in $7.76 billion for the quarter, a 5% year-over-year gain. Consulting posted $5.33 billion, essentially unchanged from a year ago. Infrastructure slid 7% to $3.84 billion, with IBM Z mainframe revenue accounting for much of the damage by dropping 42%.
IBM said it is targeting a roughly 1-percentage-point expansion in its full-year pre-tax margin, driven by productivity gains that include deploying AI to accelerate software development and streamline its supply chain.

Left-hander Jesus Luzardo (9-4, 3.43 ERA) is the starting pitcher for the Phillies. Right-hander Cam Schilitter (9-6, 2.20 ERA) starts for New York.

Although sports on TV continues to be a big deal for TV networks and streaming services, local sports teams TV/media rights are still an uncertain proposition.
This comes as the next chapter for the biggest regional sports network cable TV group takes another major step: Main Street Sports finally ending operations after a bankruptcy filing, and a number of years trying to find new operating solutions.
With the former Fox Sports, Bally and FanDuel Sports operations stopping, the business now asks more questions about what happens now.
Where will local Major League Baseball, NHL, and NBA teams make deals -- streaming, over-the-air broadcast, or cable?
There is some thought that perhaps much of the new business structure could focus on a "non-exclusive" basis across a number of platforms -- cable, over-the-air broadcast, and streaming.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - MAY 22: Gleyber Torres #25 of the Detroit Tigers plays against the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park on May 22, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
The MLB trade deadline is less than two weeks away. As teams look to fortify their rosters for the stretch run, fantasy managers can help their squads by scouring the waiver wire for reinforcements. Let’s highlight five players to consider adding who are still available in the majority of Yahoo leagues.
Torres has been limited to 46 games this season because of injury. He recently missed over a month with an oblique ailment. Across three games since making his return, he is 3-for-11 with two walks and a run scored. He continues to show a good eye at the plate, recording a 15.3% walk rate and a 19.2% strikeout rate for the season. That has enabled him to record a .351 wOBA. The Tigers will play six games next, including three at the Athletics’ hitter-friendly park. Don’t hesitate to add Torres if you need help at second base.
Sasaki is coming off a good start against the Yankees in which he gave up one unearned run over 5 2/3 innings. The most encouraging stat from that outing was that he didn’t give up a home run for the first time since the middle of May. In Week 19, he is lined up to make a start at home against the Mariners. He has been good there, recording a 3.69 xFIP, 1.29 WHIP and 26.4% strikeout rate in Los Angeles. Consider him one of the better streaming options to target.
Ewing is swinging a hot bat, hitting 17-for-53 (.321) with two home runs and four doubles across his last 12 games. He even stole three bases during that span, giving him a total of 11 steals over 63 games. After showing an adept skill of getting on base throughout his time in the minors, he is batting .274 with a .345 OBP with the Mets. New York is slated to play seven games next week, so Ewing will have plenty of opportunities to provide fantasy value.
