NBCSN shutting down
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
Raise your hand if you just realized that NBCSN didn't shut down years ago.
I watch a good deal of the track and field coverage. I know a lot of people who were excited about their EPL partnership
I actually prefer NBCSN to the other sports channels. I also probably watch more soccer and hockey than the average sports fan in the US though.
Any cbb fan would know it's been around, lots of good mid major league games on that network.
Wasn't most of their T&F content on the Olympic channel also owned by NBC/Comcast?
Are they moving NBCSN content to their Peacock streaming service?
Soccer fans knew it was around
Yeah, Premier League and NHL fans won’t be happy about this. I assume this means that they’ll probably move all of that content over to Peacock.
Could be USA or Peacock, depending on how "big" the event is perceived to be.
Besides soccer and hockey, they'll need a home for IndyCar, NASCAR, and the Tour de France.
I am not a huge hockey fan, but I did enjoy watching hockey games on there occasionally. Other than that, I didn't watch it at all, Maybe it is just me, but I felt that NBC's picture quality for sports always seemed to be a bit better than everyone else. Hockey on NBCSN had great picture quality. I always thought for sports the best picture quality was NBC followed by CBS, then ABC, with Fox being the lowest. Fox for some reason always seemed a bit grainy and the colors were not as vivid.
I mean when the Olympics happen, pretty sure they put it on every single channel that NBC owns
I figured the writing was on the wall when they started moving many of the better EPL games to Peacock.
There was a rumor two days ago that the Olympic committee is thinking about pulling the plug on the summer Olympics again, and the Japanese government supports cancelling and trying for 2032. This would just be fuel for that rumor, IMO, since NBC has been keeping NBCSN alive for the Olympics ratings boost.

My guess is they will probably put a game or two on USA on Saturday/Sunday mornings and the rest will be on Peacock. As a Fulham fan, I’m already paying for Peacock so it won’t bother me too much, but I’m sure the more casual soccer fans will lose their **** over this.
Just watched the CBJ game on NBCSN last night. I’d be really happy if ESPN got back in to the hockey business. That was my childhood. Do bee doo bee do
