Rogers and Bell each hold 37.5% of MLSE so at least in theory Rogers can be outvoted. However, I don't think the specific voting rules of the partnership have ever been reported publicly. There may be veto rights, etc.

Which still doesn't mean Bell said no, it means Bell and Rogers couldn't come to a collective yes, so by default it's a no from them.


That's a good find, Mulder. I'd be more inclined to believe the story if it was reported by a business reporter rather than by a hockey reporter, and especially if there was any attribution in the story, but it is interesting for sure.
