It also seems bizarrely overaggressive for a seven-team league playing games to a few thousand people and has no presence in TO/MTL/VAN. I'll freely admit I don't know what the CFL's viewership numbers look like but you're drawing upon one deep niche of viewers to count upon to reach half of that.

MediaPro cover something like 16 leagues including La Liga and Ligue 1. It's a jaw-dropping amount from the perspective of CanPL; is it a jaw-dropping amount from the perspective of MediaPro? Considering the other leagues in their portfolio this isn't exactly striking me as a critical-importance file for them.
