I suspect there was an agreemnt for CBC to stream the season games, and I would assume they had the option to buy them for the playoffs too. Probably too expensive, or maybe not even offered so Rogers could force people over to their SN+ product.Apparently, Roger’s put the kibosh on it, which is really too bad.
Your options appear to be OTA digital, SN+ streaming or linear TV subscritpion. I think Bell still offers a streaming only Bell Fibe option.
