We have established the largest following among iGaming news platforms in Finland, and our ambition is now to become a leading industry media brand across Northern Europe,” Wilenius remarked.

LONDON, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The television is no longer a small screen in the corner of the room. For many, it is now the centre of the matchday experience, as screens get bigger. As the world’s biggest football tournament reached its peak across North America, it accelerated that change.

For many fans, this has also been a reason to reassess whether the screen they own is ready for the way we watch sport, but as TVs get bigger, picture quality becomes more important. Screen issues such as low brightness, poor contrast or blurred motion are harder to ignore on a bigger screen, especially during fast-moving live football.

OLED picture technology has rightly earned a reputation for contrast and premium picture quality, but it remains expensive, scaled to larger sizes. Traditional LED TVs can offer scale and affordability, but not always the brightness or contrast needed to make a large screen feel truly premium. SQD-Mini LED combines high performance for big-screens with a more accessible price-to-performance balance.

In January 2026, TCL jointly released a White Paper on Perceptual Colour Volume with TÜV Rheinland, a guideline for television colour evaluation that incorporates human visual perception into technical assessment.

SQD-Mini LED display technology underpins TCL’s wider large-screen range, including the more affordable C8L-UK and C7L-UK, and has been independently validated at flagship level in the X11L, which achieved 100 percent BT.2020 colour gamut coverage along with consistent wide colour performance, meeting the requirements of TÜV Rheinland Perceptual Colour Volume Certification.

Those benefits matter on a big football night, when a ball travels quickly across a floodlit pitch or a goalkeeper dives into shadow, and the screen has to keep faces, colour and movement looking natural. What consumers need is a screen that makes the experience feel bigger, clearer and more faithful without making premium performance feel out of reach.

Consumers want technology that can handle sport, cinema, gaming and streaming without forcing a compromise between scale, performance and value. SQD-Mini LED technology gives consumers a route to the big-screen experience they increasingly want, while delivering the brightness, colour performance and contrast control that sport demands.

The next era of TV won’t be defined by size alone, but by how well large screens perform in real homes, for real content, at a price consumers can justify.

Canada Child Benefit payments increasing in 2026–2027

Nearly 500,000 Alberta families benefiting from more generous payments starting this month

AIRDRIE, AB, July 17, 2026 /CNW/ — The Government of Canada is lowering costs for families by strengthening the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), a monthly tax-free payment to help them with the costs of raising children.

Today in Alberta, Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Calgary Confederation, highlighted the increased tax-free support the program is delivering to families in 2026–2027, on behalf of the Honourable Anna Gainey, Secretary of State (Children and Youth).

Starting this month, the CCB will provide families with up to $8,157 per child under the age of six and up to $6,883 per child aged six to 17. This represents an increase of up to $160 per child under age six and up to $135 per child aged six to 17 compared with the previous year, helping families manage everyday expenses such as groceries, clothing and childcare. In Alberta alone, the CCB provides over $4 billion in benefits to approximately 500,000 families each year, helping reduce financial pressures and contributing to the financial stability of households across the province.

Across the country, the CCB supports about 3.6 million families caring for six million children, delivering approximately $30 billion in annual tax-free payments. It has helped to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and put more money directly into the pockets of parents who need it most.

“Starting Monday, the Canada Child Benefit is going up for 3.6 million Canadian families. This increased monthly payment will help cover everyday expenses like school supplies, clothing and groceries. When we invest in kids, we’re investing in our future and building Canada Strong.”

The Honourable Anna Gainey
Secretary of State (Children and Youth)

“The Canada Child Benefit has helped families in Alberta, including in Airdrie, build a stronger, brighter future for their kids. Nearly half a million Alberta families receive support from the Canada Child Benefit every year, and by increasing payments each year, we are ensuring families continue to receive the support they need when it matters most.”

Corey Hogan
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources

Quick Facts

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a monthly tax-free benefit based on the prior year’s income. It provides support for low- to middle-income families with children to help with the cost of raising children.In Alberta, approximately 875,000 children are supported by the CCB, helping improve household financial security and investing in their children’s future.The amount received under the CCB depends on a few key factors, including the number and the ages of children in care and the prior year’s adjusted net family income. For example, a family with one child aged five and one child aged nine with an adjusted family net income of $65,000 will receive approximately $11,430 in 2026–2027. This represents nearly $400 more than they would have received in 2025–2026.The CCB is designed to be responsive to the costs of living and has been annually indexed to inflation since 2018, guaranteeing that families receive both rising and predictable support that they can rely on.Annual indexation takes effect on July 1 to coincide with the beginning of the program year for payments, which runs from July 1 to June 30 each year.Numerous research studies and reports have found that the CCB has had the following impact:Made it easier for single, low-income mothers to make ends meet, with 85 percent of respondents indicating they would struggle significantly without the CCB.Helped low-income families spend more on necessities such as such as food, shelter and children’s clothing.Reduced the rate of severe food insecurity by one-third among low-income families.
