This means, (in theory), nothing prevents Sportsnet or TSN to "buy" the inaugural game and/group of games or all the games.

I agree with dsqpr, doubt if we will hear anything specific today. If it's for as much money as rumoured this IS a great day for Canada Soccer!!!

I wonder how much control they're going to have over where it goes and advertising. Like MediaPro could seek to limit it to their platforms or partnered platforms. 19 minutes ago, Ansem said: As I'm trying to understand the deal, if I get it right, it's actually GENIUS Production will be world class.

This might lead to a new platform entering Canada... Like I said we have no idea where stuff is going or if the CPL has any real say Also I think the national team rights were the biggest thing with the 2026 World Cup Edited February 20, 2019 by matty Gopherbashi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW519 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That production quality will be a good look for the league who ever gets the broadcast rights.

zen Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 200 million in what? Production? Rights? What's the split between CPL, CMNT, CWNT? This has gotta go down as a stupid decision. The league now has no control over where the content is broadcast. Additionally, as a startup league, their primary goal should be exposure, I'm afraid this move is not in line with that goal. MediaPro's interest will mostly likely be to license the rights to the highest bidder, which may not necessarily lead to the most exposure. Also, a 10 year deal wth? I didn't like it when MLS signed an 8 year deal, I don't like it now. EPL deals are usually 4 years max, which allows them to re-negotiate the value of their rights more frequently thereby increasing their net income much quicker.

Sébastien Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 So.... Where can I watch matches? The way the league shares information (or rather, doesn't), is infuriating. grande and Greatest Cockney Rip Off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My source said the deal is worth $150 Million to the league.

Okay got it, can we talk about the CPL? Ive been told that twice as many people globally watch El Classico compared to the Super Bowl. The were showing that they were a driving force in that popularity and what they do globally to make that happen. All while showcasing their production ability Maybe because I have experience working in media and marketing but its funny to me how people see this and go.. yah so what.. gives us a schedule! Not trying to be a jerk but try and use your imagination.

Alex D Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 So in summary, the CPL has partnered with a very large media company that is giving them a truck load of money and has terrific record of sports content production. However, we still have no clue how we are going to watch. Awesome!?! Greatest Cockney Rip Off, grande, johnyb and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we still have no clue how we are going to watch. Awesome!?! They holds ALL the rights to the game in Canada. If ANYONE (Home or Foreign) (youtube, Instagram, DAZN, France 1, NBC, ESPN, beIN, Sky, TSN, Sportsnet, TSN, TVA, RDS, CBC...name it)---wants to buy any Canadian content, they have to go through MEDIAPRO which will be selling a world class product. Since they are producing it and putting their money into, it is also in their best interest to find buyers which won't be limited to Canada, from around the world to at least break even but most likely get much more in return. In a nutshell, they outsourced that part of the business to MEDIAPRO. This gives CPL roughly 10 years to either Develop the expertise and take over at the end of the contract Use the increased value over time of the content to cash in BIG TIME in 10 years with networks potentially taking over production + paying even more down the road Keep MEDIAPRO but pull back on the level of control they have over the rights. Hopes this helps, for a brand new league like CPL, it's really the best deal you'll get Edited February 20, 2019 by Ansem Lofty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
