Great now Rogers owns the score…. Might be the end of WWE in Canada. Not to sure how good the ratings are here in Canada since the only rating ever reported on here are U.S. figures. Can we please get some Canadian rating numbers? If you can get U.S figured I’m sure this site can get Canadian figures!

I have friends in Canada who complain about The Score not showing Raw until 9pm now that it starts at 8 (915 when it started at 9) so hopefully with this deal, our Canadian friends can enjoy Raw with the rest of us at the same time

  In my opinion theScore does a great job with WWE programming including a post RAW and SmackDown review show every week. Like you said, the one thing that I don't like is that RAW starts one hour AFTER RAW starts in the USA. I can watch it online, but it's not the same. Hopefully theScore continues to carry WWE programming, and maybe even have RAW start at the same time.

    Agreed, with the exception of RAW being broadcast an hour after it going live rather than the previous 15 minutes late, theScore is doing an absolutely great job with their WWE programming.

    i live in Vancouver BC and WWE RAW starts the same time as before thats 6PM Pacific Time
    
    so having Rogers acquire Score Media could be a good thing, since Score Media does such a helluva good job on EVERY sports events and their aftermath on every show.

Yes with the 9pm start time it does get late of you watch the whole thing. Most people have PVR so I assume they tape it and watch later. The thing is we don’t have the USA network or other station that show RAW except for te score so I hope Rogers doesn’t take WWE programming off the network. I curious to see what the ratings are here in Canada.

I watch RAW online, with a feed from SKY Sports, Live.

Hopefully this won’t be the end of RAW on TheScore. I would love to be able to watch it at the same time as the U.S though… And not have to worry about seeing spoilers on twitter…
