TORONTO – Beginning today, The Score will provide sports updates to broadcaster Global News Ontario.
The Score’s daily sports coverage will be seen during Global’s 6 a.m. Morning News, Noon News, 6 p.m. News Hour, and 11 p.m. News Final.
The sports channel’s updates replace those of Rogers Sportsnet, which supplied sports updates for Global previously. But with Rogers now owning Global Television competitor Citytv, that supply deal couldn’t continue.
Global outsourced its sports coverage to Sportsnet after firing nearly all of its sports staff in 2006.
“The Score’s sports coverage will bring the Global News Ontario audience timely scores, odds, highlights, and breaking news – with a strong focus on Toronto’s hometown teams,” says the press release today. The broadcasts will also include The Score’s ever-present sports ticker.
"We cover sports like no one else and we are excited to reach out to a new audience through Global News Ontario," said David Errington, The Score’s EVP and Co-COO in a press release. "We look forward to working with their team."
