Lost in everything was plans for an expanded CPL CBC relationship. I'm eager to see if that comes about with restart tourney It would be pretty straightforward to rebrand OneSoccer as OneSports. Also, if that relationship (OS/CBC) is there, it could pay dividends for us in the long haul. Imagine if the tourney goes well, then next year all CPL games are on Gem?

Mediapro seems to feel the Canadian market is an opportunity not only when it comes to soccer. I think a Canadian baseball league would be great as well. A Mediapro/CBC relationship to create a Canadian Sports Channel/Media platform would be great. Lost in everything was plans for an expanded CPL CBC relationship. I'm eager to see if that comes about with restart tourney I assumed this was more of a one off, as Mediapro would have the personnel/equipment available with no CPL games to broadcast. Given how poorly the last Canadian baseball league went, I can't imagine there's anyone looking to invest in that again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Baseball_League Bonus: I'd completely forgotten that Whitecaps owner Jeff Mallet had invested in that league. No wonder people didn't get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnina10 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Mediapro has picked up the rights to the Jupiler Pro League and Proximus League in Belgium. Maybe that could be added to OneSoccer?🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 dyslexic nam, Ruffian, Red and White and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say they still have a reasonable shot at promotion. Regardless, I read that Mediapro has rights to both the Pro League and Proximus League, so we might be able to watch Tristan Borges regardless. I just want to watch Belgian football in Canada period 😍😍 Aird25 and baulderdash77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean OneSoccer might not have a good "in" to get the rights, just that it's not necessarily quite as direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Sports has the rights, but Mediapro made the agreement. What is also true is that Mediapro are aiming to provide coverage to Belgian football in other markets. That's why I mentioned OneSoccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that a couple Canadians per year to flow though there as our program grows and we develop more and more talent. Trois Reds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 People are already complaining on twitter about WCQ being on OneSoccer. If Canada makes the Octagon and gets close to the World Cup this could be the springboard for Onesoccer to actually get some decent subscriber numbers. It may even force TSN to awkwardly acknowledge the CPL and Onesoccer's mere existence dyslexic nam, johnyb, Cheeta and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus you are a victim. Let it go. The criticism directed at you was in the context of a never-ending and unbalanced barrage of negativity and skepticism. Anyone can offer a critical point of view but when it is a constant stream of negativity the response to your posts was entirely understandable. Of course, I am sure I am just one of the many bullies who unjustly target you or some such bullshit. longlugan, nfitz and SthMelbRed 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, by social media traffic and looking at what happens elsewhere, I am sure we had games with 85 people watching last year. And I doubt we ever had more than 500.

No one ever claimed he was wrong in everything he wrote. My point is that much of the criticism at the time was justified based on the tone and constant negativity he brought to the forum. longlugan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
