I decided to see if I could find Fox’s World Cup broadcasting plans.
It looks like Tubi will broadcast 2 games in 4K. This seems like reliable reporting.
The same search also told me their NextGen TV broadcasts would br HDR 4K. But the sources didn’t seem to say anything factual in that regard. So I assume AI was just making that up and that the broadcast will be 720p/1080p HDR depending on the local broadcaster’s capabilities.
Not sure about real or faux Dolby Atmos, but Fox seems to have turned the Atmos bit on for my non-DRM Fox 45 in Baltimore for some time now. Still 720p broadcasts.
Anyone see anything about 4K over NextGen TV? Or would that merely be 4K HDR->1080P HDR->U4K HDR like NBC did for the Olympics?

Re: Fox’s World Cup Coverage
Everything I'm seeing indicates 1080p HDR upscaled to 4K HDR on Fox One and Fox Sports apps and the usual pay TV providers only. I can't find a single reference to NextGen TV or ATSC 3.0 in any of the press releases. Business as usual. And AI is garbage.
