Partially owned by Alliance Atlantis and later Canwest, its main asset was The Score, a national specialty television service providing sports news, information, highlights, live events, and other sports-related entertainment programming.

The company also owns closed captioning service Voice to Visual Inc., and mixed martial arts promotion The Score Fighting Series.

Shaw Media was spun off to form Corus Entertainment in September 1999 and sold 48% stake to Alliance Atlantis the following month.

On 24 August 2012, reports surfaced that Rogers Communications was planning to acquire Score Media for close to $160 million.

Score Media's TV properties were immediately placed into a blind trust, under trustee Peter Viner, pending final CRTC approval,[5][6] which came on 30 April 2013.
