Previously CSB and Mediapro were partners in broadcasting the Canadian Premier League and Canadian national team games via OneSoccer. Under the settlement, Mediapro will just"provide production and technical services" for OneSoccer through the end of the year.
On the other was Mediapro, CSB's Barcelona-based media partner — a global entity that produces content for soccer leagues worldwide including OneSoccer, a streaming service with a limited linear TV presence. There was no immediate word on who will produce the Canadian soccer content after Mediapro departs at the end of the year.
The CSB, meanwhile, said it had taken back its rights from Mediapro and was looking for other broadcast partners. Mediapro also said the eight-team league had failed to deliver on promises to expand to 10 teams by 2020 and 16 teams by 2024.
