[8], The acquisition closed on October 19, 2012, at which point Score Media's digital assets (the website theScore.com and associated mobile apps) were spun off into another company primarily owned by Score Media's previous shareholders, theScore Inc., in which Rogers Media retained a 10% interest. Advertising was also introduced, something that did not exist during the Sportscope era. As of 2014, Sportsnet 360 is available in 5.8 million Canadian homes.[2]. In addition to the national feed, the service operates a number of additional part-time "companion channels" which carry programming restricted to the local broadcast territories of the teams involved, such that the main feed remains available nationwide. [6], Reports surfaced on August 24, 2012 that Rogers Media, owners of the competing network Sportsnet, would acquire The Score's parent company.

[11] While Rogers planned to continue running The Score as a sports news service, it also requested that the CRTC ease some of the restrictions that were placed on the network in order to allow it to be more competitive with other Canadian sports channels. [19] On December 22, 2014, it was announced that TSN and Fight Network would take over Canadian rights to UFC programming beginning in 2015. Score Media's television properties were immediately placed into a blind trust, under trustee Peter Viner, pending final CRTC approval. [11], The CRTC approved the acquisition of The Score by Rogers, as well as Rogers' proposal to only require a sports update once per hour during live programming on April 30, 2013 (but rejected its proposal to spend its tangible benefits on the Sportsnet Winter Games).

[18] UFC mixed-martial arts, including UFC on Fox events, preliminary fights, and the reality series The Ultimate Fighter, largely moved from the Sportsnet regional networks and Sportsnet One to Sportsnet 360 following its launch. Sportsnet 360 (SN360) is a Canadian specialty channel owned by Rogers Media. In 1997, the network was re-launched under Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission licensing as Headline Sports, adding anchored segments to its rolling sports news programming. There were plans to air different tickers in each region of the country and additional streams of alphanumeric data (perhaps via an alternate channel) when the channel was launched, but those plans were abandoned.

Rogers' current contract with WWE began in 2014 and runs through 2024; the contract also gave Rogers exclusive Canadian distribution rights to WWE Network. The channel was launched in 1994 as the licence-exempt service Sportscope, which featured a display of sports news and scores. The channel is also the main Canadian broadcaster of WWE professional wrestling programs, airing both WWE Raw and SmackDown, along with other ancillary programs. [4] For the 2007–08 season, The Score acquired the Canadian television rights to the Premier League. As part of CRTC requirements to spend 10% of the value of an acquisition on initiatives to strengthen the broadcasting industry, Rogers planned to fund the production of the Sportsnet Winter Games (which would have been an annual winter sports competition) and provide funding for the production of amateur sports programming. Rogers stated that the network would continue to target its programming towards "hardcore" sports fans with "a vast breadth of premium sports content in a fast-paced, energetic and entertaining manner". As a result of this – as well as legal issues with U.S. cable news channel CNN Headline News, which had its own "Headline Sports" segment[3] – the channel was rebranded as The Score Television Network that year.
