Rogers Communications (RCI) announced it has received all league approvals to buy out Bell’s 37.5% stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. Rogers has received approvals from the National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, Canadian Football League, Major League Soccer and the American Hockey League to become 75% owners of MLSE. The deal is subject to approval from the CRTC to acquire an additional indirect interest in Toronto Raptors Network, representing a very small portion of the transaction.
