Let's see if TSN/Sportsnet decide whether they'd like to actually pay money for the product in the future instead of people saying "CSA with your limited finances, make it happen!" Like back in the days where the CSA had to pay to get their product on TV.
Im glad onesoccer stepped into the void. They have essentially guaranteed the survival of the CPL for their first few years with their huge investment, they also carry youth national team competitions involving Canada, Canadian womens games and other Concacaf games, both club and country.
TSN sure looks like they're going to ditch MLS once their contract expires, their numbers haven't really ever gone up.
I'm glad onesoccer is being rewarded for taking a chance on investing in Canadian soccer. It was a huge gamble, and they deserve to get the pay off of an improving CMNT.
I doubt CMNT, while improved, would move the meter at all for TSN/Sportsnet. We haven't made it to the world cup yet. Some extra soccer fans tuning in won't make a big difference.
Sick dig with "Two Soccer" though.
