mrpopulistfutebol Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Does any one know when the Canadian Soccer Association and Rogers Sportsnet's Television Contract will be up for renewal or over with? And if it is done soon, should the CSA renew again with Sportsnet, or seek another broadcaster (i.e. TSN, CBC, Global/FSWC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks fan Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Don't know. This is what they have listed for the remainder of 2006 as of now http://www2.sportsnet.ca/tvschedule/franchise/soccer_sked.xls Nice to see at least one of the Jamaica games will be on.

thepatriot Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Sportsnet's deal expires end of 2006. Word on the street is that Sportsnet is not the only Broadcaster trying to aquire the CSA package. I heard the deal was suposed to be announced a couple of weeks ago, but don't know why there has been a delay. If the CBC is the other interested party, they would more than likely have to partner with a cable station. Possibly GOLTV or FOX Sports World Canada. If you think Sportsnet is bad by delaying games, CBC would terrible in that department because of commitments already in place therefore teaming up with someone in order to show more live games. If the CBC looses rights to NHL they will have a lot more airtime and money for something else. Soccer would be a good fit considering they've already lost Curling and will more than likely loose the CFL regular season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
