I don't think the leagues care, it's highest bidder wins

BeIn bought content before they had an providers, in the US I still think they are only on DirecTV and not Dish, some but not all cable markets etc.

They didn't realize how backwards the CRTC is

my hope is that when Sportsnet fully takes over the Score that they use it as an extra channel for stuff like this and pays a license fee to BeIn for canadian coverage
