Tried several times last night and throughout today to watch the replay, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Is it working for anyone else? Please, no spoilers for the result. I have avoided them so far. It is annoying, lots of threads I am ignoring while I wait to be able to watch the game. Didnt work for me either. Kept saying error. Tried to ignore the result but gave in and watched the highlights. Kent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 So I guess Sportsnet or TSN did pick up the upcoming WCQ games? I'll admit I'm surprised, but glad the general public gets to watch and that I found out before subscribing to OneSoccer for the month. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckgbp Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I guess for Sportsnet, they will just run the direct One Soccer feed? So One Soccer gets some $$$ and advertisement? Double edge sword with Wheeler at the helm. Clearly he divides opinion. But at least it is on tv. For TSN I assume it will be their crew? toontownman, Ansem and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 OK, so I am still seeing the game on OneSoccer's schedule. So Sportsnet is letting OneSoccer produce it, and OneSoccer gets to put it on their feed as well? narduch, Ansem and canuckgbp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivier Brett from RDS was saying that initially MediaPro didn't want to share the feed. Afterwards, they do business with Sportsnet paying them to advertise them and potentially push CPL/Canchamp/Concacaf league / CCL at the same time. Very clever narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like TSN got the jump on OneSoccer for the USA game (maybe a better relationship with the US than OneSoccer has), maybe OneSoccer's counter measure was to partner and sell games to Sportsnet so they could use that money to outbid TSN for the rest. Assuming TSN was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the casual fan can also watch as well via Sportsnet/TSN. I'm going to be fascinated to see what the ratings are. toontownman and youllneverwalkalone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Interesting that it happened at the very last minute like this. Looks like Mediapro's bean counters eventually made a decision to go with what was on offer from a traditional cable broadcaster based on the new subscriber numbers they were seeing.

Assuming TSN was interested. TSN simply bought the rights from the USSF. In the US FS1 is broadcasting the game, so I wonder if TSN in this one off situation will simply show their feed or have their guys do the game? toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 1 hour ago, longlugan said: Keep spinning it Ozzie. LOL. Well, someone had to blink. My speculation follows a differnet path. Buy in now or buy in later the price is the same. Get 13 Canada matches or get 9, the price is going to be the same because these matches are going to air with or without SportsNet. And when it gets tight on the very crowded band wagon that Canada's WCQing campaign is going to become next week you'll be paying an ever increasing premium for seating. Sure there was give and take, always is, but the deal is done and I'm suspect other content OneSoccer has for this tourney could become available for SportsNet down the road. By that I mean not Canada fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Sport Business says SN is covering some production costs. So, maybe not that much of a deal. But enough to get Concacaf qualifiers and OneSoccer keeps on saying more to come. Will be interested in seeing how much OneSoccer gets to promote its offering on SN. Maybe more driven by Canada Soccer to increase reach and increase major sponsors on board besides Toyota & Allstate. Sport Business seems to say that TSN got rights to US home matches. Besides Canada match, I wonder how many will be shown on tv or just streamed. Edited September 2, 2021 by red card narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfitz Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Not sure all the fuss and conspiracy theories about SN buying rights. Everyone has a price. At some point, if what one is offered exceeds the value to OneSoccer to having the game exclusive, then it's worth selling. It would be as simple as SN offering more money (and/or production assistance) than TSN. johnyb, Ruffian and grasshopper1917 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the exact practice of Mediapro in all contracts. You sell to a higher bidder if it can make you more money than the stream or cable you happen to offering, with whatever income stream it might have.
