It was just because I presumed OS would have all Cdn mens games. You know what happens when you presume.😊 narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 One Soccer basically only has the rights to Canada home games. And CPL and Voyageurs Cup. Anything else is up for grabs. WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkomar Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Perhaps OneSoccer will end up paying MediaPro to shoot the games? Isn't that what MediaPro does for all manner of sports? mediapro-website CDNFootballer and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the CSB's counter lawsuit they said they hadn't gotten most or all of the payments for several years in a row and any reasonably competent business person (which I believe the CPL owners to be) wouldn't put that in a legal documents if they didn't have the evidences to back it up. If they could get, say, Radio-Canada/CBC to produce, put at least some games on, even if only in each team's relevant regional channel, and make everything available for streaming I'd call that a win compared to how it seem to have been with MediaPro. vancanman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect the league now owns Onesoccer lock, stock and barrel and will have to prop up its finances moving forward. A positive at that point might be that Rogers can't use foreign ownership as a way to avoid picking it up as a speciality channel. rkomar and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBC presumably had the opportunity to get in with the CPL when it started and, if they had wanted to, to see what they could get when things blew up with MediaPro. They don't appear to be interested, unfortunately. Their response to the CPL compares poorly to their response to the NSL.

They don't appear to be interested, unfortunately. Their response to the CPL compares poorly to their response to the NSL. CBC showed the Island games and was apparently interested in continuing the relationship beyond, but MediaPro wasn't interested (or wanted a higher rate). I remember reading about why the CBC paid Sportsnet so much money for the HNIC rights on Saturdays/playoffs: because they have to show something, and that math worked that it was still the most affordable way to go. CPL is not the NHL. But we saw them getting 40-50k viewers on the CBC. So the question would be, is that better than their standard weekend programming and if so how much do they normally pay to air it? That's the money they have for the CPL.

CBC does not provide funding for production ventures. NSL is willing to eat that loss and CPL wasn't. Simple as. Basically CBC won't show something unless it's being produced by someone else and provided to them. red card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Latest Footy Prime 19:00 minutes mark They explain that when CRTC tried to push the ruling onto Bell & Rogers, they're response was that since the entity wasn't Canadian - they had no obligation to broadcast them. Now that the whole operation is under Canadian control, this will change the circumstances and (not well versed on the matter) but there are some quotas needing to be met I'm guessing as this will be undeniably "Canadian content" Edited June 19 by Ansem narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it harder for them to ignore the CRTC ruling against them - Timeless being Canadian voids their argument and if they persist - then they'll be viewed as the villains here, they have no reason at all not to broadcast those games now, let alone talk about the league at a minimum Edited June 19 by Ansem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
