On 24 August 2012, reports surfaced that [[Rogers Communications]] was planning to acquire Score Media for close to $160 million.<ref name=rogers-score>{{cite web|last=Ladurantaye|first=Steve|title=Rogers Communications to acquire Score Media|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/rogers-communications-to-acquire-score-media/article4497481/|publisher=The Globe and Mail|access-date=24 August 2012}}</ref> The next day, those reports became reality when [[Rogers Media]] announced that it will acquire Score Media in a transaction valued at [[Canadian dollar|$]]167 million.

The acquisition itself closed on 19 October 2012, at which point Score Media's digital assets were spun off into another company, [[theScore Inc.]], in which Rogers Media initially retained a 10% interest. Score Media's TV properties were immediately placed into a [[blind trust]], under trustee [[Peter Viner]], pending final CRTC approval,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://corporate.thescore.com/2012/10/score-media-inc-completes-plan-of-arrangement/|title=Score Media Inc. completes plan of arrangement|author=Score Media|date=2012-10-19|access-date=2012-10-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1056217/rogers-media-completes-acquisition-of-score-media|title=Rogers Media Completes Acquisition of Score Media|author=Rogers Media|author-link=Rogers Media|date=2012-10-19|access-date=2012-10-19}}</ref> which came on 30 April 2013.
