BuzzAndSting Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 So the layoffs continue, this time it's Craig Forrest. Add this to Sharman and Molinaro and it's clear Sportsnet is moving away from soccer. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 That sucks. I had heard about Molinaro but was unaware of Sharman and now Forrest. Hope they end up elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The sad thing is that these guys actually gave the CPL some legit coverage and now they're out. Sportsnet World is now a walking corpse. DAZN has everything that's worth paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Unfortunately, this is the natural conclusion to Sportsnet not having the Premier League. I think the only soccer they have left is the Bundesliga and the Scottish Premier League. I think they had to bring in the WNBA to make up for programming over the summer months. It looks like Rogers is losing money on Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwsmith63 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Don't forget the Darts, Lacrosse and endless loops of Baseball highlights. :( Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Raptors winning the NBA championship and the resurgence in the Leafs (primarily) and the other Canadian hockey teams, they're probably not losing money on Sportsnet. (Highly recommend the book Hockey Fight in Canada: Big Media Face Off over the NHL for some interesting insight in to the finances of TSN/Sportsnet). But it's also probably not worth it to them to carry a crew for just Bundesliga & SPL, though I was hoping they'd at least try to make a push of it for a year.

Terry_Canuck Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) It also means they won't be involved in CPL as I thought with their EPL coverage coming to an end. I had hoped that they would make a run at CPL games for next season. Edited July 12, 2019 by Terry_Canuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad if they get out of soccer as they did seem to have coverage of CPL (unlike TSN). But I did notice that although there is no mention of CPL in the TSN soccer tool bar they did have articles on the CDN championship. I wonder where all this MLS friendship for CPL is at that Mr parrot speaks of. TSN will barely mention CPL unless it has something to do with MLS.
