Would either be ESPN or Fox selling their inventory. Don’t think TNT or CBS would sell their limited games.
Yep. CBS and TNT are already sublicensing, I don't think they can even transfer rights legally.

Seems like more of shuffling the deck chairs from one streamer to another but NBC probably threw in a game or two on NBC national to sweeten it.

I see this as a game within the game. This may be a foreshadow for the next contract. One could view it in one of two scenarios: 1. ESPN/Foz selling off inventory to offset too much spent on their other contracts and to position themselves for the next contract OR 2. Other networks going after content with the hope of being a player in the next contract.

In the meantime…death by a thousand cuts to my ******* wallet.

I suspect NBC's production efforts will be closer to CBS compared to ESPN? If so, awesome for the viewer! It was so clear last year when we played on CBS national how much better their production was (analysis in studio, camera angles and quality, the announcers, etc.). It was just a whole lot better than ESPR Plus, and better than regular ESPN.

I am surprised there isn't more excitement about this. The more platforms, especially national ones, you can get on the better.
There would perhaps be more excitement if it was known what games and how many are being moved to NBC/Peacock. Are they all ESPN+ games or is ESPN/ESPN2 reducing their inventory of B12 games?
