I welcome our witnesses. I thank LOITV and GAA+ for the important role they both play in promoting their respective games. When it comes to the issue of the content levy, in our consideration, it is important that we cannot treat GAA+ or LOITV in the same way as Disney+ or the big streaming platforms. I am interested to hear the witnesses' views in that regard. I have listened to both the opening statements. Not only are they providing an invaluable service to communities; they are also providing opportunities to broadcasters and people to get a foothold in the industry. They provide a unique opportunity to tell the history of the leagues and to bring out other documentary-style programming. That is important from a historical and archiving perspective. I am interested in both witnesses' views in that regard.
