On August 25, 2012, those reports became reality when Rogers Media announced that it will acquire Score Media in a transaction valued at $167 million. The resulting acquisition will include Score Media's television business which includes the closed captioning service Voice to Visual Inc., mixed martial arts promotion The Score Fighting Series, and The Score Television Network. The remaining assets will be spun off into another company, in which Rogers Media will retain a 10% interest in.[6]
