Sportscope

Originally launched in 1994 as "Sportscope", it was a cable-based sports score network airing in seven Canadian provinces. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) Sportscope's "programming" was a non-content-based, alphanumeric text format of sports scores and news, and did not require a CRTC licence.

Headline Sports

The Score was previously known as Headline Sports

Sportscope was granted an English-language specialty channel licence by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 1996, provisionally titled "Sportscope Plus". CRTC may also stand for Cathode Ray Tube Controller. Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC, in French Conseil The year 1996 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1996. The relaunched channel, titled "Headline Sports", debuted in May 1997. Headline Sports was initially a national 24 hour anchor-at-desk sports news service operating on a rotating 15 minute newswheel of sports news scores. All programming contained a continuous bottom-section ticker of current sports scores. It was soon available to close to two million cable TV subscribers nationally.

Initial plans to air a regional ticker and additional streams of alphanumeric data (perhaps via an alternate channel) were apparently abandoned.

The Score

In March 2000, Headline Sports' licence was amended by the CRTC to allow live sports programming, under the conditions that they display their ticker and that they break away from live coverage at least once every fifteen minutes to present video highlights. As a result of this — as well as legal issues with CNN Headline News, which had its own "Headline Sports" segment — the station was re-branded as "The Score". Headline News is a Spin-off network from the original Cable News Network ( CNN) television news network in the United States. Not only was it the usual source for sports scores and news, it was now able to compete on a limited basis with Canadian sports stalwart TSN, and the then-fledgling Rogers Sportsnet.
