Explained in plain English

How do broadcasters make money?

Broadcasters primarily earn revenue through advertising, where companies pay to show their ads during programmes. They also get money from subscriptions, where viewers pay a regular fee to access channels or streaming services. This income helps them afford expensive TV rights, like those for the World Cup, influencing when games are scheduled.
