Score Media Inc. was a Canadian media company. Its main asset was The Score, a national specialty television service providing sports news, information, highlights, live events, and other sports-related entertainment programming. The company also owned closed captioning service Voice to Visual Inc., and mixed martial arts promotion The Score Fighting Series.
Prior to October 19, 2012, the company also owned a 20% stake in mobile and web development firm NuLayer, and various interactive properties including ScoreMobile, ScoreMobile FC, SportsTap and TheScore.ca. These properties are now owned by theScore Inc. The company also previously owned and operated The Score Satellite Radio on Sirius Satellite Radio (which shut down on September 1, 2011), and stakes in the LGBTQ+ specialty channel OUTtv.
Canwest held a nearly 48% stake in the company that had originally been acquired by Alliance Atlantis. Canwest sold the stake in 2009 amid its financial issues. In October 2012, Score Media announced its intent to sell its television business to Rogers Media, owner of the Sportsnet networks. It concurrently spun off its digital assets as the new company theScore Inc. (now Score Media and Gaming), which was acquired by Penn Entertainment in 2021.
