an online lottery and digital entertainment provider, is pleased to
announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to

Sports.com brand. Upon completion of the acquisition, CMF Media
will be renamed Sports.com Studios and will continue to create and
produce award-winning original sports content that will be
showcased on the Sports.com platform. The acquisition of CMF
further strengthens Lottery.com's strategic expansion into sports
entertainment by providing the production capabilities necessary to
develop and deliver compelling original content for Sports.com's
growing global audience. Evolving in their roles at Sports.com
Studios, Bingham and Sánchez will work alongside Tim Scoffham at
recently acquired Sports.com Media.
Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of
Lottery.com and Sports.com, commented:This acquisition of
CMF Media is a fantastic fit for us, as it enhances our ability to
produce cutting-edge, original sports content. We believe this will
generate significant value for Sports.com, leveraging the talented
team at CMF Media to build unique, captivating sports programming
for our audience."
The first major initiative under Sports.com Studios
is expected to be Football Vs, a sports show
created by Miguel Sánchez, featuring world renowned footballers and
an A-List international music icon. The show is set to push the
boundaries of traditional sports programming, delivering a fresh
and engaging experience for viewers across the globe.

global appeal. Our vision for Football Vs and other projects aligns
perfectly with Sports.com’s mission to deliver top-tier sports
content. I’m excited to see what we can achieve together and to
captivate new audiences with our innovative storytelling and
production."
Charlie has spent 17 years in the television
industry, specializing in hosted expedition, natural history and
motorsport. He started his career at the BBC Natural History Unit
before moving into the independent sector, working in senior
editorial roles on such shows as River Monsters, Bear Grylls and
The Grand Tour. His expert knowledge of the challenges associated

projects.

viewers around the world. Together with Sports.com, we will
continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sports
entertainment."

experience. He was the manager of content and production at
Televisa’s VP entertainment office for six years, where he oversaw
