It was pretty clear what NBC's plan was when they initially purchased the Premier League rights 8 years ago when they had every game either on tv or free online. They wanted to capture causal fans and then right when they hook them, profit.
NBCSN shutting down
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
Darnit, I didn't even think about IndyCar... hopefully they figure something out.
As I close my eyes The Avs and The Red Wings are about to throw down again. Claude Lemieux and Darren McCarty probably won’t make it to Period 2.
Damn, this is brutal. Losing NBCSN, NBC Sports Chi and + is going to suck. Already lost the Cubs on YouTubeTV and now this ****? I watch a lot of the local outdoor programming on those channels as well.
This is so much better than any of the NFL music other than when they jam the classic MNF music.
It sounds like hockey,soccer and auto racing will be shown on the USA Network or at least the major events in those sports. NBC/Universal owns USA and they have used USA and NBCSN to broadcast Olympic sports. In Rio in 2016,7 of the 8 USA men's basketball games were shown on NBCSN. The main reason for doing that is in Olympic basketball they don't stop the game in the middle of the quarter to take a "t.v. timeout" like we do in America.
I'd guess the top match of the week (or maybe even less often then that) on NBC, another couple a weekend on USA and the rest on the streaming service.

RIP to the Network formerly known as Versus. ISU had a ton of games on there back during the Chizik years.
