    Say hello to your Toronto Maple Jays.

    Ugh.

  2. kpeds45

    $4.7b CAD. Values MLSE at $9.3B US or $12.5B CAD.

  3. captain_obvious9999

    wow. rogers is now majority owner at 75% stake.

    so they own all the major toronto sports teams now.

  4. barenakedlad

    9.3b valuation. Up from an 8.4b valuation last time a stake was sold (Nov 2023)

  5. Fuuutuuuree

    Wow. As someone who works for Bell I assumed some of the cuts that had been ongoing were so that they could buy Rogers out of their shares in MLSE.

    Didn’t think it would be this way around though

  6. We should dump the Ted Rogers statue in lake ontario to celebrate

    Renaming the billing soon to – Rogers ScotiaDome Bank Centre – Sponsored by Rogers Home Phone and Internet Place

    Before we overreact, Rogers does spend a ton of money on the Blue Jays. They’re bad, but not because they don’t spend.

    I just hope they don’t push Tanenbaum out as chairman, who is still very respected.

  9. TheFearOfFear

    Good. Fuck Bell. I worked at Bell for 5 years. They can eat my ass.

    Interesting. I wonder how this will affect TV coverage locally. Does Rogers keep the Leafs on their networks, like they do with the Jays. Or do they sell the rights to make some money off them

  11. bangnburn

    I wonder if TSN is going to lose its broadcast rights in the next negotiations?

  12. tm_leafer

    Well… There go our hopes for TSN getting more broadcast rights.

  13. moviemerc

    I wonder how this is going to work out for their broadcasts. They used to split the leafs and raps games so I’m curious if they have a deal worked out for that or not.

    Could be Bell taking a massive step back sportswise. Wouldn’t be surprised if they cut back even further if they aren’t going to get any of those games.

    Then again it could be Bell gearing up to take a run at the NHL rights deal or trying to buy another Canadian franchise.

  14. BirdGooch

    The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

  15. RealCanadianDragon

    I wonder if Bell partners with Tannenbauns group eventually and co-owns the WNBA team but then buys the PWHL team too.

    And if Rogers owns 75% of MLSE, could the Jays soon be added into the fold?

  16. power_of_funk

    Sportsnet and CBC suck my balls we need more TSN games ffs

  17. shanster925

    Well, I hope TSN still gets games….

  18. Big_Muffin42

    After seeing how Rogers led the Jays I officially have no faith.

    They ruined the Jays. They waste money on the stupidest things rather than build a team that works

  19. This screams that bell is trying to secure funds to get a Quebec City team – probably not but like that’s how in choosing to view this.

  20. Paul Marner is going to see this and ask for $3.516B.

  21. demential

    Fuck me… That is pretty terrible for our hockey viewing experience.

  22. brownmagician

    Oh shit… Rogers owns all the sports… Omg.

  23. unComfortablePapaya

    these telecommunications companies make way too much money off our backs. i hate this country.
