BBC wins highlights rights for World Cup
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The BBC's director of sport, Roger Mosey, was delighted to welcome back televised cricket. "Alongside our live commentaries on radio and our service online, this is a further demonstration of our commitment to the sport," he said.
Throughout the tournament, held in March and April 2007, key highlights from all the main matches will be shown on BBC2 at 11.15pm.
Mosey added: "The BBC is delighted to be returning to televised cricket after a long break for one of the highlights of the sports calendar. This shows the BBC is committed to cricket on television, on radio and online."
Following a wonderful summer's Ashes cricket, which was shown on Channel 4, live action will disappear from terresterial television next summer as Sky has won the rights. Five are to show a highlights package.
