NBC is shuttering NBC Sports Network by end of 2021; Migrating programming to USA Network & Peacock
A lot of rumors that NHL will leave NBC for FOX/ESPN in their new TV deal. So this move might be an indication that NBC realizes that they might lose the NHL and bulk of their NBCSN programming. So it makes sense to shift sports programming to USA and strengthen it as a network since it sub numbers are good and it’s a long standing network.
For nhl fans I hope that’s the case. Because outside the nhl network. There is no coverage of nhl

Not surprised. shyt was a graveyard and worthless besides hockey. I wouldn't be surprised if CBS sports Network was next.. it's even deader.

They basically had nothing but live sports (Premier League, NHL, some auto racing, etc). And I guess they cable networks weren't paying enough to carry the network, and the live sports rights were too expensive to make it work. I love Premier League but you can't sell that many ads during the games. NHL is kind of niche too. They never tried to do any studio shows or anything.

So all Premier League games will be on Peacock next year?

I don't watch a lot of NHL but at least I know that on a weeknight I could tune to NBCSN and probably catch a hockey game if nothing else was on. With ESPN and FOX you don't know that because they have to much other stuff. Unless we are all convinced that everything is going to be streaming from now on. ESPN+ will have to go up in price if they keep adding all this shyt.

Not much can compete with the name brand of SC and I think you have to pay for highlight packages now. Can't remember what league sold their highlight package to but it was why for some sports you only get like 2 highlights and then the score/stats
If a lot of it is moving to USA, which is a basic cable channel, why are people upset? Am I missing something?
It is impossible to move a lot of it to USA. You think USA is going to be showing A10 basketball on the weekends? Nightly Stanley Cup playoff coverage?h
They already have a streaming service already out and have already put sports events behind the paywall. The direction they're going in is very clear.

If there's an NHL game or Olympic event that starts around 4 or 5 and runs long, NBCUniversal will make the call to Vince and say, "You're going to SyFy tonight. Deal with it.
