DAZN and Fubo team up for (almost) all the soccer Canadians want
A decade after streaming apps first shook up the Canadian TV sports rights scene, vibrations of a new shift are being felt. On Monday, DAZN and Fubo, who hold the bulk of the major European soccer leagues in their broadcast stables, confirmed what astute soccer viewers may have figured out a week ago: they're working together. In a Canada-only partnership, the two streamers will now have a subscription carved out on the other's service, allowing Canadians to start bundling their soccer fandom in one place. If they have not already set up year-long subscriptions in one place, that is. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. A welcome email is on its way. If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of Sunrise will soon be in your inbox. Please try again Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. In other words, if you've been subscribing to English Premier League on Fubo but have been eschewing DAZN's coverage of the UEFA Champions League, perhaps because you just didn't want to have several app subscriptions, you can now add a DAZN soccer package under the Fubo umbrella. That is going live any time. And the opposite is true — and indeed has been true for at least a week — if you are a DAZN subscriber, you can get EPL matches there again, by adding the Fubo sports option. DAZN previously held the rights to EPL but lost them to Fubo beginning in 2022. Fubo subscribers will now be able to add DAZN's 'premium' services inside the Fubo app, like the NFL, rugby and boxing on top of DAZN's soccer rights. (DAZN's pay per view events, like big-tent boxing nights, are not part of the Fubo deal.) This deal with Fubo has prompted DAZN to reset how you can subscribe to their service; previously their premium service gave you across the board access to their various feeds, including NFL Game Pass, UEFA club competitions like the Champions League, and more. DAZN now has three different packages: a basic subscription which gets you NFL, Champions League, Budesliga and more, basically what you've always had; second a 'DAZN+' package, which adds on the Fubo rights, including EPL and Serie A; third a package called DAZN Soccer, which only includes the soccer rights. Long-standing users of Fubo know that their service is more than just a soccer streamer: they've got MLB as well, plus CBC channels, One Soccer, beIN Sports and more. Adding more soccer, adding the NFL, is an exciting thing said Ben Grad, Fubo's Senior Vice-President, Strategic Partnerships and Operations. 'We were already the home of soccer in Canada, and it makes that even stronger,' Grad said. And so does striking a deal with DAZN to have EPL and Serie A land there too. It's a chance to put their brand in front of even more customers. Same goes for DAZN on Fubo. It's all win-win said Grad. 'It's not something that we've decided to distribute broadly,' it's super premium content,' he said. 'And I think they're (DAZN) really excited to enable their customers, or anyone who wants to their platform to have access to that. 'They're looking at us — I don't want to put words in their mouth — but I would imagine that, you know they've looked at us and how much we've been able to grow our own offering in Canada in just a few short years, and seeing like, hey, these guys have been really good at customer acquisition. They have a great content experience. They have some great content on there. It'd be great if we could plug into that and enable that to help grow.' Add it all up: if you want European soccer, you only need to look to one place, be it DAZN or Fubo … unless you want La Liga (TSN) or the FA Cup (Sportsnet). It's almost like we're going back to a universe we used to call 'cable.' pjohnston@

Canada builds homes faster in July, but gaps remain
A construction worker works from a lift in a new housing development in Ottawa on Friday, Oct. 14, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick Canada's home building is picking up, but not fast enough, according to new national numbers. In its July housing starts report published Monday, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation says home building was four per cent faster than in June. If July's level held for 12 months, that would equal about 294,085 homes a year. But it still falls short of the agency's benchmark of 430,000 to 480,000 homes a year needed to restore pre-pandemic affordability. 'We're talking about doubling housing starts,' said Tania Bourassa-Ochoa, deputy chief economist at the CMHC. She added there are regional differences in the data. Most of the momentum came from multi-unit projects in the Prairie provinces and Quebec. Montreal posted a 212 per cent year-over-year increase in housing starts. Vancouver recorded a 24 per cent increase in July. However, in Toronto, housing starts fell 69 per cent year over year, with declines in both multi-unit and single-detached projects. For its size, P.E.I. built at roughly double the national rate in July, about 121 starts per 100,000 people, compared with about 56 across Canada. The Island's pattern also mirrors the national one, with multi-unit projects accounting for much of the increase. 'In some multi-units, we are quite a bit smaller,' said Sam Sanderson, executive director of the Construction Association of P.E.I. 'The ability to get permits, is maybe a little bit faster than other jurisdictions.' But the Island, like other provinces, still can't keep up with demand or the CMHC's affordability benchmark. In P.E.I., it would require lifting annual starts well beyond recent averages and building at or above historic highs. 'The shortage of skilled people will continue to be a problem in the years to come,' Sanderson said, citing challenges in reaching the benchmark. CMHC explains that one reason for July's increase is pre-planned projects reaching the 'start' stage now. The corporation records a housing start when the foundation is complete, which can be a year or two after a project is initiated. 'Even if we're seeing that increase and pick up in activity, that doesn't necessarily reflect developer sentiment,' Bourassa-Ochoa said. CMHC also projects activity could slow later this year, with higher costs and tariffs taking a toll. 'We've been in a context where the economy has been quite uncertain. We've had we've been facing geopolitical uncertainty as well,' said Bourassa-Ochoa. CMHC says the six-month average also rose 3.7 per cent in July. Both the monthly total of 23,464 urban starts and the year-to-date tally of 137,875 were 4 per cent above last year.
