I thought this already happened ? Like when Tim and Sid turned up on FAN590 ?

Yeah, this already happened. TheScore has lost a lot of content to TSN2 and Sportsnet One/World which resulted less revenue for them. Those two channels was kiss of the death for the Score. Hopefully now, theScore gets more soccer and basketball games because they do a good job of covering those sports unlike main networks who are 24/7 hockey.

No, it was just approved by the CRTC yesterday.

Approved yesterday, but it was basically a done deal months ago. The Footy Show podcast ended some time ago because of this. All of The Score's good talent was more or less moved already.

But the Footy show was on Tv the other other day. They just did their last episode.

If we're lucky, they'll have Richard Whittal cover CIS Soccer.

You may notice I said Podcast, which if you haven't heard it was infinitely superior to the TV show.

TFC game this Saturday has now been moved to The Score.

Looks like they need to make more room for hockey on the main networks.

Hopefully this means we get soccer guys from theScore doing play-by-play instead of Forest and Dobson.

The Footy Blog has turned to shite since he stopped writing and it became The Counter Attack blog.

Kristian Jack and James Sharman still on the score? Wouldn't mind them doing it.

I wonder if the CRTC approval changes the amount of Live sports that they can show on air?

I think they were limited to something like 15 hrs per week (that's why they delay WWE Raw by 15 mins so as not to count towards that).

Did Rogers get control of Score Mobile as well? Was really surprised when I went to meetings in the US and most of my US counterparts were running that app as they felt it was way better than ESPN.
