RIP NBCSN

This blows goats but if I'm being honest, I tune in NBCSN for EPL and hockey and that's it.

So is Peacock going to keep EPL? Seems like a colossal mistake for the EPL to only be on a streaming service in the US (not that they need the US but potential market growth isn't coming because a few die-hards subscribe).

 

I'd be shocked if every NBCSN Premier League match didn't end up on USA. I'm guessing there is some sort of contractual clause that ensures that a specific number of matches each week are on basic cable. What I expect will migrate to Peacock is most of the ancillary, non-game EPL programming.

 

I liked that network.

 

NBC Sports Network shutting down by the end of the year, report says

 

These networks are really something. At a time for of high unemployment and economic uncertainty they’re trying to bleed a few more bucks from customers. Not just NBC, but Disney, ESPN and HBO as well. Ms. BYM2 was a loyal viewer of 90 Day Fiancé but has stopped watching since they’ve moved all of the ancillary pre and post-shows on Discovery+, feeling it’s a horseshit cash grab.

 

Well, it is a horseshit cash grab.

 

It is shameful.

 

As a selfish soccer fan, ESPN does an amazing job with the sport and I wouldn’t mind if they get it. However, they won’t put any games on Saturday as long as there is CFB so it would mostly be on their OTT app until January.

 

As I wrote elsewhere, I'm probably the one dude who watches the Mecum auction just to admire the classic muscle cars of my youth.

 

The reserve is off!
