A version of this article first appeared in the CNBC Sport newsletter with Alex Sherman, which brings you the biggest news and exclusive interviews from the worlds of sports business and media. Sign up to receive future editions, straight to your inbox. Next week, the media world will descend upon New York City for annual upfront advertising presentations. The week begins with NBCUniversal's pitch in Radio City Music Hall, followed by Fox, Amazon, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix and YouTube. This year should cement a trend that became noticeable last year when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell showed up at both YouTube's upfront and Netflix's – wearing a Santa-inspired parka to the latter. Other than Warner Bros. Discovery, which, barring government intervention, is making its final upfront presentation next week before merging with Paramount Skydance later this year, every major media company will be showcasing its NFL programming. While the exact day is still in flux, the NFL plans to announce its full 2026 schedule next week on Wednesday or Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The schedule will include a slight increase in its broadcast footprint from last year, which may make the government happy, said the person, who asked to remain unnamed because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission have been looking into the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act, which gives the NFL a limited antitrust exemption in return for making its games available on broadcast networks. For NBCU, next week's pitch will include the value of "Sunday Night Football," the most-watched show on U.S. television for the last 15 years. Fox will tout how the NFL had its highest ratings on the network since 2015 last year, averaging 19.63 million viewers. Amazon will brag about the audience for "Thursday Night Football," which has increased a whopping 60% since coming to Prime Video in 2022 and how last year's ...

Read the story in English Cuando Uber llegó a México hace 13 años, se encontró con un problema inesperado. Había suficientes personas con smartphones para descargar la app, pero pocas estaban dispuestas a pagar con tarjeta bancaria: no tenían una o simplemente no querían usarla. En pocos años, el gigante de transporte por aplicación introdujo la opción de pago en efectivo, y hasta hoy más de la mitad de sus usuarios en el país siguen pagando así. Suscríbase acá al boletín CincoCosas y conozca nuestro canal de WhatsApp Esa cifra refleja un patrón más amplio: en México, el auge en la oferta de productos financieros ha chocado con una persistente dependencia del efectivo. En muchos sentidos, la conveniencia digital no ha logrado imponerse frente a actitudes culturales arraigadas sobre el dinero y a una alta evasión fiscal, especialmente fuera de las grandes ciudades. En papel, el país es uno de los mercados fintech de mayor crecimiento en América Latina, con más de 800 empresas operando, frente a menos de 200 hace una década. Los pagos electrónicos han crecido a tasas de doble dígito a medida que cientos de millones de dólares en capital de riesgo han fluido al sector, y cerca de ocho de cada diez mexicanos ya cuentan con al menos un producto financiero, según datos del gobierno mexicano. Y aun así: más de la mitad de las tarjetas de débito en el país no se utilizan y casi la mitad de las tarjetas de crédito permanecen inactivas, muestran datos del gobierno. En parte, esto se debe a que bancos y fintech están colocando estos productos en clientes que nunca los solicitaron. En muchos casos, esos esfuerzos no han funcionado. Incluso con la expansión de herramientas digitales, el efectivo sigue dominando la vida cotidiana: alrededor de 85% de las compras pequeñas se realizan en efectivo y más del 90% de los adultos lo utilizan de alguna forma, de acuerdo con cifras oficiales. Roberto Negrete, un consultor de construcción de 33 años, es un ejemplo. Maneja casi todo su dine...
