The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has affirmed plans to offer a handful of live events from the Wimbledon Championships in ultra high-definition (Uhd/4K).
The Uhd/4K version of the matches will stream live through BBC iPlayer, which is available on a number of supported devices and platforms. All popular connected TV platforms, including Android TV and Amazon’s Fire TV, are supported, as well as set-top boxes offered by pay TV companies like Sky, Vodafone and BT.
Center Court events will be available in Uhd/4K, the broadcaster said, while all live events will be offered through BBC iPlayer.
The BBC holds the domestic telecast rights to the Wimbledon tournament in the United Kingdom, with select live events made available through BBC One and BBC Two. While those matches have been offered in high definition for some time, the BBC has no dedicated Uhd/4K channel,...

Sinclair Broadcast Group says it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to translate some of its tennis coverage into Spanish.
Machine learning tools will first be used for the Tennis Channel’s series “Petko Unfiltered,” hosted by former German professional tennis player and network analyst Andrea Petkovic.
The show airs in several European countries on regional variants of the Tennis Channel, with translated episodes debuting in Spain later this year. The same episodes air on T2, Sinclair’s tennis-focused free, ad-supported streaming television channel, in the United States.
The translations will be produced by HeyGen, an AI-focused video company that specializes in translation and lip-synchronization services, Sinclair said in a press release on Tuesday.
HeyGen will not only provide translations in Spanish: The video production firm can also change Petkovic’s facial expressions, so they match the translated speech that is overlaid as an audio track.
