    I guess people wanting to watch the Tour de France, English Premier League, NHL, horse racing and NASCAR will have to pony up for Peacock.

    The WSJ is saying that they plan to migrate a lot of the stuff to the USA Network. But there are no details beyond that yet.

    Every time I tune in to NBCSN, it's some damn Mecum Auto Auction. They've been killing it off for a while, it seems.

    I look forward to Arlo White reading a promo for ... whatever trash TV is currently on USA.

    I'd much rather watch the NHL than watch Mecum's son try to twist another seller's arm to let go of yet another Mustang for its less-than-original reserve price.

    I can only hope this doesn't mean that NBC/Comcast is bailing on sports. We know they already have The Golf Channel, so that goes nowhere.

    Additionally, the NHL's deal is up, probably a big reason why the league's owners are taking a bath this season to show that they're worthy of a national contract or two South of the Border. It will be interesting to see how this all transpires.

    On the plus side, this thread is helping serve ads for Peacock.

    NFL rights fees are coming up and NBC pays the lowest amount for the best games, the best window and with flex. That's going to cost a lot more.

    They have done an amazing job with the EPL. Hopefully, they will still have robust pre and post game content. Might be it for Men in Blazers though.

    That’s a hell of a bet they are making.

    Also figure they aren't cashing any Olympics ad checks anytime soon.
