    It's still generally pretty easy to catch a local sports team on OTA in the states. At least compared to Canada. We've been in a hell where cable is mandatory if you follow the raptors or jays for decades now, same with if you want more than 1 NHL game a week. Almost all of the OTA channels here are owned by either the main cable company or the main satellite company lol.

    Honestly Canada rules on telecom, there's essentially a duopoly. Somehow the regulators are maintaining a system that allows subsellers to exist, even though all of the news is running propaganda against it (because the news is owned by the telecom giants).

      A broadcast company shouldn't be allowed to own exclusive rights on Canada's only baseball team just because they own that team, but here we are.

      Roger's buying the Jays should've been stopped but of course it wasn't.
