Kibby Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well according to this.. http://www.wakingthered.com/2015/6/4/8732981/canada-soccer-sportsnet-mutually-end-tv-deal-tsn-cbc-cfl-hockey-canada-2015 Who has rights to the gold cup? or were they covered by the canadasoccer deal? I assume TSN is the likely go to place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sportsnet has the gold cup rights. Its a a concacaf contract and seperate from the csa rights. I posted it in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The annoying thing is that it seems the CSA was caught off guard. John Molinaro had to ask if Sportsnet was showing the Men's qualifyer return game to find out the rights had expired. Hopefully TSN can pick up the rights...only alternative is Bein Sports.

Blackdude Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I just hope that the deal is with both official languages. I know it's not much, but aside from the FIFA events (Senior World Cup or Confederations Cup), we've seen only one game in French in the past 10+ years. The fact that both Francophone sports stations have 2 different feeds helps a lot in showing our team on TV and being the team of all Canadians. I do think that the CSA's deal needs to include something for that. We see that Tennis Canada is forcing Sportsnet to sublicense its Rogers Cup coverage to TVA Sports. I hope we can see something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northvansteve Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hope TSN gets the rights, even if it ends up on TSN2 TSN2? I'd take TSN6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 There is still the possibility that the CSA re-ups with Sportsnet for a different deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyCircus Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 That's disgusting. What a joke this country is. We must be the only country in the world that doesn't broadcast its own world cup qualifiers. I'll be going to the Dominica Toronto game, but it's so damn hard to be a Team Canada supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSoccerFan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 It seems natural that TSN would take over from Sportsnet even if it's not until September. 1) Bell is one of the team's biggest sponsors and of course Bell owns TSN 2) TSN is investing a lot in soccer now by taking over the champions league rights and world cup rights in addition to recent investments in the EURO, MLS, and EPL. 3) The loss of the NHL rights leaves TSN in need of content, especially midweek.

You can also add TSN has the CFL rights and given they might push for a Canadian league at some point, likely want to familiarize themselves more with the product and build it up.

Mimglow Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 We're two days away from our 1st qualifier. According to Twitter exchanges I've had with Gavin Day, he'll only know if he can set up a stream of the game once he gets to Dominica. Everything is contingent on how good internet service is at the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If they get a stream, I hope it is archived on youtube. I'll struggle to stay up for this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I kind of find it weird about the internet situation at the stadium because it just hosted a cricket test match between Australia and the West Indies last week; and I know the Australian media would have had decent access.

ThatDaveCh Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've watched ONE CANMNT match on Fox Soccer, and now I'm praying a TSN deal happens immediately. Shitty to see GOL TV go, I really liked the programming on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Probably beIN Sports where everything else has gone. I don't think so. Fox Sports will have the rights in the US and BeIN has rights to already three of the top 5 leagues. I think that it makes no sense for them because they would need to spend money for a Canadian broadcast. I think that Sportsnet World is the most probable place because 1) They would get content that would gain subscribers. 2) They do show some EPL on it, but not enough to warrant to buy it unless you're a massive fan of a club there. Because you can get 5-6 games on TSN1-5 SN/1/360 per matchday so the EPL isn't restricted to one Premium-channel, but Bundesliga would be something like that. Maybe once in a while, you'd get a game on the other channels, but it would be more the exception than the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Probably beIN Sports where everything else has gone. They better get another channel because they can't even adequately cover the content they have currently. French Ligue 1 gets horribly shafted as is. I don't know how much better the Bundesliga will fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler453 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Being an employee at TSN, I really hope we do pick up the rights to Canada Soccer. They have been taking strides in covering international Canadian events recently like the Women's World Cup, this year's Rugby World Cup, and all of FIBA's Basketball events coming up in August. Of course all the international hockey also, but that doesn't really count as of recent because we've been covering that for forever. I may be speaking straight from bias too but I'm sure many agree that TSN is a lot better than Sportsnet at garnering interest in sporting events and has a lot better analysis of them. I think we could get so many more people more interested in the game. I'm sure the CSA will approach about the idea. I get emails right when new deals are signed so I could keep everyone updated if I see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
