I don't know if it's worth the cost and effort. Traditional TV subscribers are falling annually 3-4% and traditional TV ad revenues are also declining. Ad revenues on online/streaming/internet services are increasing at an incredible rate, so it makes sense to focus on those efforts rather than trying to work with Bell/Rogers directly, or creating an entirely new channel for what is a declining space. Still, last I read OneSoccer was looking at adding a broadcast TV channel in conjunction with its current streaming platform.

You can if you have a smart TV - OneSoccer and DAZN are available on the likes of AppleTV, Roku, etc. For CPL at least, Season ticket holders receive a free subscription to OneSoccer, and some streaming packages offer free month packages or deals if you're looking for a sample.

SN/TSN have shown no interest in showing Canadian sports, so it is what it is.
