BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN announced on Tuesday that its broadcast of Super Bowl 61 will also be streamed on Disney+.

Disney+ will stream the ESPN/ABC broadcast as well as the Spanish-language telecast on ESPN Deportes in the United States. The Super Bowl has been televised in Spanish in the U.S. since 2014.

Disney+ will also stream the game in 55 international markets, including Latin America, Brazil, the Caribbean, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand. The ESPN feed will be also carried in more than 130 countries and territories on linear platforms.

Disney+ will also stream two “Monday Night Football” games this season — Dallas at Philadelphia on Oct. 26 and a later contest yet to be announced.

This will be the first time ESPN will produce and carry the Super Bowl, while the big game also airs on ABC for the first time since 2006. Walt Disney Company announced in August that all advertising inventory for the game is sold out.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson won the Nobel Prize in literature Thursday for “bold and inventive” works that fuse the classical and the modern and blur the boundaries of poetry and prose.

The Toronto-born Carson, 76, has drawn on themes from classical Greek and Roman literature, modern influences and personal experience for genre-blending titles that have ranged from translations of ancient Greek poets to collaborations with dancers and musicians, including Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed.

The Swedish Academy that awards the prize said she won “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature.”

The permanent secretary of the academy said the author was in Iceland “listening to the wind” when the panel reached her to notify her of the honor.

Manitoba spends, what comes next?

Rafiq Andani 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Whatever Manitobans think of this government’s health-care record, its willingness to spend is impressive. The promise to rebuild care has inspired a massive mobilization of public money.

Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care spending reached $9.66 billion in 2025-26. Next year’s budget allocates $10.59 billion, an almost 10 per cent increase above last year’s actual spending, following increases of approximately 5.6 and 6.8 per cent in the preceding years. The government has found room for another $931 million in a single year.

That allocation stands roughly $2 billion above spending in 2023-24, the year the government changed, and represents an increase of nearly one-quarter. At $10.59 billion, the budget amounts to approximately $29 million a day.

Let’s consider the province’s reported additions and funding commitments:
