Unnamed Trialist Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The key question for most of us here: does CSB have the commitment to the CPL that will ensure its survival? All indications are that CSB is committed to the league. However, there is no way they can generate the income that MediaPro was paying, or was supposed to be paying, on that long-term deal. A few months before the start of the CPL season, are we faced with a major drop in funding to each of the clubs, and to the league, which will drastically affect rosters, overall budgets, other financials? I am not optimistic. Ivan, johnyb, RJB and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckgbp Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 What are the odds CBC steps in for CPL? Getting new rights for the National Teams doesn’t seem difficult but CPL… it is not a packaged deal right? Can they leverage National team games with CPL? Do they have that pull? Califax and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s closer to the mandate of CBC than half of the shit on CBC. I would be over the moon if they got the rights.

CanadaFan123 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I feel like CSB must have something lined up otherwise they wouldn’t have withdrawn. Maybe they’ve finally reached a deal with daddy Bell media and all will be well. Jedi Ram, king1010, canuckgbp and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaPro/OneSoccer was still providing a value to the business. So I want to believe they have something lineup, and I'm interested and excited to hear the great news! If I hear they plan to broadcast games ala MLS Next Pro....this league could potentially be in palliative care. narduch, CanadaFan123, gator and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect CBC would be happy to show some of the games. The issue would be I doubt they have the budget to pay big rights fees, if that’s what the CSB needs (as you would think). canuckgbp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasi Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) The more I think about this the more this feels like a Miracle. TSN or Sportsnet will pick this up. CSB's press statement says " open up to larger audience" CSB can't broadcast themselves, they have no capacity. They also need to get their product out ASAP. Considering that MediaPro has not payed for 2023 payments...this has been in the works for a while. I'm sure they liked the huge numbers for the Sinclair game. This will get done soon!

If anyone takes this it's TSN or Sportsnet You’re probably right, but it doesn’t mean they should opt out. They’ve been sorely in need of a reset on how they do things. Part of the reason CBC is in such a spot is because they lost the rights to the NHL. They played hardball with the NHL and lost big. Pair that with the fact that their very existence is in trouble when government changes after the next election. Now might be the time to do some soul-searching about the type of organization they’re going to be in a few years.

I'm hoping that majority of the good guys at onesoccer like KJ, Andi, Oli, Jordan, and Jenkins will go with whoever picks up the rights. If it's TSN, a nice panel of DeGuzman, Wilson, and KJ would be good with Wheels and Jenkins covering matches. Im tired of the Kevin and Scott panel. narduch, Obinna, dyslexic nam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
