DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 22, 2026--

Victory+, the premium free sports streaming service from A Parent Media Co. Inc. (APMC), today announced a multi-year agreement to become the exclusive local streaming home for the Minnesota Lynx. Starting with the 2026 season, fans across the Minneapolis/St. Paul region and surrounding markets can access a minimum of 18 games for free, expanding how WNBA fans can access their team.

Under this agreement, Victory+ will deliver extensive coverage featuring upwards of 18 regular season matchups alongside three pre-season games and shoulder programming. The action kicks off with the April 25 showdown against the Washington Mystics.

This expansion marks a pivotal entry of Victory+ into the WNBA, reinforcing its growing commitment to building a premier free and accessible destination for women’s sports. By adding the Minnesota Lynx to a high-growth portfolio of women’s sports that includes National Women’s Soccer League, Women’s National Football Conference, and League One Volleyball, Victory+ is meeting the accelerating global demand for women’s athletics with a proven "fan-first" model that more than doubled viewership for LOVB in their first season on the platform compared to previous channels.

“The momentum behind the WNBA continues to reshape the sports landscape,” said Neil Gruninger, President and CEO of APMC. “Bringing the Minnesota Lynx to Victory+ is about showing up for the fans and making sure they can watch their team without barriers. We are proud to make games free and accessible, further fueling the growth of the WNBA fanbase.”

Victory+ addresses the longstanding discoverability challenges in women’s sports caused by fragmented broadcast rights. As the platform hosting the largest share of NWSL matches, it brings premium women’s sports content into one centralized destination, allowing fans to easily follow their favorite league while discovering new ones. By providing women’s sports with the same elite positioning as men’s major leagues, Victory+ ensures that visibility is no longer an obstacle to fan-base expansion.

“The WNBA is one of the fastest growing major leagues in the world and Victory+ is uniquely positioned to drive continued audience growth and fandom with free access to Lynx games across all streaming devices,” said Katie Boes, Chief Content Officer, Victory+. “Victory+ is thrilled to announce the Lynx as our first WNBA team partner and we look forward to offering their devoted fans best-in-class game coverage, news, creator content and features all year long.”

“As we looked for a new broadcast home for the Lynx, we focused on fan feedback and how people are watching games today,” said Lynx & Timberwolves CEO Matt Caldwell. “Accessibility is a priority for our ownership group, and we believe Victory+ offers fans a streamlined, easy way to follow Lynx basketball.”

Since its launch, Victory+ has rapidly expanded its roster of team and league partnerships, establishing itself as one of the fastest growing sports platforms in America. The platform has secured multi-year agreements across major professional and developmental leagues, including landmark deals with the NHL’s Dallas Stars, and Anaheim Ducks, as well as the MLB’s Texas Rangers. By continuously integrating new team relationships and diversifying into high-growth categories like women’s sports, Victory+ is building a comprehensive ecosystem that prioritizes accessibility and long-term audience engagement. This evolution is defined by a 'fan-first' strategy, offering diverse entry points through creator-led content and innovative formats such as 'alt-casts' that reinvent the modern viewing experience.

As Victory+ continues to scale, its ecosystem remains anchored in a single mission: removing the friction between the game and the viewer. From the NHL and MLB to the front lines of the WNBA's historic growth, Victory+ is the definitive destination for the modern fan, ensuring that the next generation of sports fandom is built on free, premium, and frictionless access.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 22, 2026--

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Boston Scientific Corporation (“Boston Scientific” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BSX) and reminds investors of the May 4, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260422768669/en/

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See  www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: the true state of Boston Scientific’s U.S. EP segment; notably, that management was aware that the segment’s growth rate was unsustainable and that it was approaching an earlier tipping point than the market was anticipating. Due to Defendants’ statements of confidence and lofty expectations, investors and analysts were left surprised by Boston Scientific’s net income miss and underwhelming guidance for the first half of fiscal 2026.

On February 4, 2026, Boston Scientific published a press release announcing fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, including a pertinent disappointment in U.S. EP sales, and issued guidance for fiscal 2026 that fell well below expectations. The Company attributed its results and dismal guidance on a combination of slower than expected market growth alongside increased competition, despite management’s previous claims of a “growing” EP business and assertions they “have a very good understanding of what competition we will face and in what time frame.”

On this news, Boston Scientific’s stock price fell $16.12, or 17.6%, to close at $75.50 per share on February 4, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Boston Scientific’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
