CTV Newsnet got a total of 15.5 million in subscriber $ in 2011, so apparently less than what Sun News wants.
What is interesting is that Sun News, which launched in April 2011, declared no income from subscribers in 2011, so gave away their service the whole year, and had only 650k in add income, or less than 100k a month for the months they were on air. They spent over $7 million on salaries.

TSN and Sportsnet are channels that people want to watch. And are included in most basic cable packages. And turn profits enough to bid billions on NHL broadcasting rights.
