Rogers buys the score

And for the record, I think wrestling sucks and as a result I do not watch it - ever.

I guess I just miss the original Score format which was scores (for legitimate sports) and highlights ONLY.

I think a sports network is the best place for WWE, it is "sports entertainment"

Really just because the outcome is predetermined does it make it present as not a sport? Again, this is a thought for another thread.

I too long for the days of when The Score, was just scores and highlights. Then again I long for the days when a stations name was directly correlated to its programming (OLN was all outdoor activity shows, Much Music played music, History showed programs about history, TLC broadcast educational shows, A&E was truly the arts and entertainment not red neck reality), but again, as is my theme in this thread, this is a topic for another thread.

And I still hate typing on a touch screen

As opposed to now, where they all play dreadful reality shows?

I believe that was his point.

Man I miss that, can't believe how much they've ruined that channel. From like 05-08 it was my go-to bored channel (aside from sports stations). Loved watching American Justice & especially City Confidential, now its all just CSI type scripted shows.

I thought it was all Storage/Shipping Wars on A&E these days along with Longmire.

[Sainters7]

Probably. I couldn't even tell ya anymore, gave up on that channel a couple years ago.

I realize, I was agreeing with him, although obviously not very clearly.

I can't remember the last time I watched the Score on TV. Does it actually still have a channel on shaw? is it in HD?

However, I regularly use the Score's iPhone app.

The App is amazing, the Footy Show is the only thing I watch on the Score.

Hopefully they get out of their contract with Serie A and pick up the Bundesliga instead. That would be nice.

I used to watch hockey highlights at the top of every hour. I don't even know if they show hilights on a consistent basis anymore
