Score Media Inc. today announced the closing of its previously announced underwriting agreement for the
issuance and sale of 11,800,000 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a price of $0.85 per share. The offering, underwritten by Genuity Capital Markets,
will support its TV, internet, mobile and satellite radio business units.

That will give you an idea of some of the capital costs. These funds are earmarked for our new intiatives with the majority going to HD. This does not include programing cost or HD Live evnt production which The Score will continue to use Dome Productions with expansion of thier fleet.

Bump. Tuesday Sept 5.

Why did it take them so long to switch over to HD? Or atleast widescreen?. TSN even shows triathalons and fishing in HD now but they are dragging out the launch of sportscentre??

my guess is that they are waiting for HD football coverage come September. This will allow them to actually show some HD highlights.

They also only recently (say the last couple of weeks) started using their new studio. Must've just finished being built.

Looking forward to tomorrow nights SportsCentre...

About time TSN

Looking forward to tomorrow nights SportsCentre...

The front page of this site is reporting that Sportscentre will only go HD on Sept. 25th.

This will allow them to actually show some HD highlights.
huh? CFL has almost 3 agmes in HD/WS/ week. Many nights, more than half (up to all) MLB games are in HD. NASCAR is all HD....

TSN contacted me last week and its Sept 25th for launch.

Last February when they first announced it, they said the 5th but this was revised.

Was "does anybody know when it launches" and the next 8 debated it.

Pay attention folks!

Well. Today is the day! . I noticed in the local Sun today TSN took out a full page ad in the sports section advertising SportsCentre in HD now :)

"TSN's SportsCentre becomes the first daily news show of any kind in Canada to be presented in High Definition. Join Rod Smith for the first edition of SportsCentre presented in TSNHD today at 6:30 pm et/3:30 pm pt."

via tsn.ca.

That cant be true can it?

Isnt Sportsnets daily sports news show in HD? Just to name one.

I am curious to see if they show hilights in HD though.

Sportsnet's show is not HD. It is only in widescreen, that is way it says available in widescreen at the start. Sportscentre will be HD, not widescreen like Sportsnet.

Bell owned companies like these "first" labels (even if they are lies).

So, what "news" does TSN show?

So, what "news" does TSN show?

Uhmmm, sports news? ... You know, important stuff like who's wife/girlfriend was seen with another athlete, which athlete beat their spouse that day, which athlete is being busted for something... ;)

Regardless (not irregardless), I will always watch sportsnews over bad news.

First SportsCentre in HD is at 6:30PM

can someone take a screen cap of it if they can? Thanks

I only see Standard Definition on *choice. :o :o

new set looks good on sportscentre.. top 10 HD highlights on sportscentre tonight :)
