Canadian Sports Fans Upset Over Double-Digit Price Hike for Sportsnet Streaming Service

Canadian sports fans are upset over a 30% price hike for Sportsnet's premium streaming package and a 25% increase for its standard package. The changes will take effect Sept. 9, with monthly rates also rising. Customers have taken to social media to express their frustrations, with some canceling their subscriptions and considering alternative options. The price hike comes after Rogers bought the rights to broadcast NHL games across Canada for the next 12 years at a cost of $11 billion.
