Programmes such as I’m a Celebrity are for example, and via different geographical routes.For something that is genuinely high profile or on at peak time they probably would. A Premier League match being shown live will have (either dual fibres, fibre and satellite and probably access to the world feed too).
But this was a minority sport late at night. It all depends on how much they want to spend, I don't know what, if any, transatlantic capacity Comcast/Sky have of their own
