To make it work, Citytv/Rogers will broadcast the games on Sunday afternoons through the season, but won’t be streaming the matches.

Rogers Sportsnet is reporting that Rogers Centre will house the March 7 CONCACAF Champions League match between Toronto FC, which will soon be part-owned by Rogers, and the Los Angeles Galaxy.

If Toronto FC decides to play its March 7 CONCACAF Champions League date against the Los Angeles Galaxy indoors at Rogers Centre rather than at BMO Field, it will likely mean many more games under the dome in the seasons to come.

But, until we see how Bell and Rogers react to each other in the boardroom, it’s hard to figure out how it will change the governance of any of the sports properties. Remember, that, unlike the reign of the Pension Fund, no one here has a majority stake in MLSE. So, the guess would be that more, not less, decision-making would be tied up at the board level.

Really? The most exciting match in the history of the NCC is unfolding before our very eyes, and Rogers comes off like it’s apologizing to viewers searching for the Jays’ game? Rogers is actually urging people to switch away from the Cup final to join the baseball broadcast?

With TSN becoming the official national broadcaster of MLS in 2011, Rogers Sportsnet has ensured it won’t be left out in the cold. Sportsnet announced Thursday that it will be the official regional broadcaster of the Whitecaps. Rogers announced that it will produce 21 Whitecaps games in 2011. Eleven of those will air on Sportsnet Pacific, nine more on premium specialty channel Sportsnet One — and one additional game, June 4 at Real Salt Lake, will air on Citytv, which is owned by Rogers.
