How does not carrying OneSoccer give Rogers an advantage? It's a bit of an oversimplification but the CRTC has viewed Sportsnet World and Onesoccer as comparable services yet they choose to carry their own product over the other. dyslexic nam and Goal_Kick 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if those who were defending Rogers & Bell BS argument will be backtracking or doubling down I think we literally all knew why they were doing it. It was just a matter of whether the CRTC would want to do anything. They've voted in favour of OneSoccer. Good for them. Curious to see what comes next, and what Bell does.

My understanding (mainly from what was being posted on here rather than researching what was happening carefully) was that Onesoccer were angling to be on basic cable because that's where the real cash bonanza would be. It appears from what has been posted in another thread that they will probably now be allowed to have a speciality channel out of this ruling. Good to see the CRTC doing its job on this but perhaps not something that's going to help Mediapro all that much in the bigger scheme of things because pretty much anybody who wanted to gain access to OneSoccer already had ways readily available to them to do so.

Aird25 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Northern Tribune's perspective below. I hope they're right and getting on TV leads to a significant increase in viewers. I know my dad is likely to watch more, and he can't be the only one that doesn't stream. https://northerntribune.ca/rogers-onesoccer-crtc-decision-march-2023/ Goal_Kick, johnyb, toontownman and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its packaged as part of an existing sports bundle that's huge. If its just an extra add on subscription channel I'm not convinced it's going to be more than a light ripple of new viewers. They all count though. johnyb, Goal_Kick and Kent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 My guess is it will get the BeIn treatment. It will probably still make sense to have a Fubo sub instead Cheeta and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I san say that when Onesoccer was on Telus I accidentally started watching the channel often and when there was a game I wanted to watch 9/10 I'd watch it thru Telus rather than stream Admiral Murray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Being on Rogers/Bell will help with monthly subs. For those who complain about signing up for another service, there will be less friction to get it for a month to watch Canada matches and/or Gold Cup. They can also sign up for the few months just needed to watch CPL. There are usually also free previews at launch and thereafter, usually once a year that can raise awareness. SN World reported to CRTC a couple years ago that their subs totalled 36k. So, if priced around $5-15/month, it is realistic for OS to achieve similar numbers. But for the near future, fubo will remain the largest platform for OS as fubo has over 142k in Canadian subs as of late last year. It can also provide the boost to more fully round out OneSoccer's programming as Mediapro execs alluded to last year. They do need to show a women's league again. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it part of a sports package or was it a specialty channel that you had to pay for separately? The way you are talking about it maybe you are talking about having a free preview for a while?

SpursFlu Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) I might be wrong but i think it was a 2 month free promo. Ive got Fubo and OS so i wasnt too bothered when it went away but it was handy for sure But still available yes Edited March 25, 2023 by SpursFlu Kent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 For some reason I can't log in on the Roku app to watch the USA vs El Salvador game. I keep getting the device link message every time I try to pick something to watch. I also tried watching One Nation earlier today and had the same problem. Very frustrating. So I've got the game on in the background in another tab on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 While I am shaming OneSoccer's tech, I might as well add that the error page I am getting tells me to go to "support.onesoccer.ca". I went there and it just might be 100% useless (I'm not sure). Look at these helpful pages. That is everything for that section. Luckily I'm already signed up for OneSoccer though, so I don't need the non-existent info there. I guess what I need is from this section of the help page. And that's all of that page. I guess I'm out of luck. So I clicked on "Contact" and filled out the form they have there. I clicked Send, and nothing happened. Fantastic! I've tried the support page on my work laptop and on my phone, both are equally useless. So frustrating!!! Luckily I am going to tomorrow's game so I won't miss the big game due to OneSoccer's non-existent tech department, but I'm pretty upset tonight.

Pottsy3 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 So I didn't have access to my Roku this weekend, and defaulted to Fubo on my laptop for the Saturday game. Either OneSoccer has improved the quality of their broadcast or the Roku OneSoccer App drastically drains the quality. It was night and day.

CDNFootballer Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 So was looking at Fubotv vs Onesoccer, $25 per month vs $10 per month or $200 vs $100 annually. In the end went with Onesoccer for the year as I won't be watching much of the other content that Fubotv offers or already get that content elsewhere. Think the OS price goes up to $120 on May 1st. Onesoccer also works great on my Roku when I had it in the past. toontownman and jonovision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm open to renewing onesocer down the line if they add more content/leagues and features that are useful and not on their main channel. As it is right now there is very rarely a clash of games that aren't available through Fubo. Sometimes they have 2 cpl games on at the same time but it's rare. Even with the women's she believes and men's u17 game happening at the same time they put one on for free on YouTube. dyslexic nam and Cheeta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (and quite a number of people I know) signed up last June when they were having a $100 sale. Honestly haven't been impressed with their service at all. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like onesoccer and CPL before, they have PL fans by the balls. Doesn't matter whether the service is shit, fans will end up paying because they have no other choice. I see they have bloated up to be more like a cable company, the current renewal is actually $199 right now for their basic package and $379 😳 yep nearly $400 for their 76 channel package that has stuff like Disney channel, showcase etc. Mental. $200 might actually be hard to justify in June tbh. narduch and CDNFootballer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
