DeFrank Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Just began watching the NBC Sports Network today. Gotta say, I'm really enjoying this NBC Sports Talk. Not huge on hockey, but I like their whole "High Def Awesome" NHL coverage. The fact that it's sitting on the background on my TV already says I'll be watching it quite a bit. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Probably the occasional college basketball game, as well as NBADL programming, I assume.Does mean the end of their outdoor shows, for shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Every week night at 6 and 9 they have "NBC Sports Talk". So far, they've only talked football. I also remember they've got some sort of in depth football programming as well. Remember hearing it on the radio. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUELANDbeliever Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What other programing are they going to have besides hockey?Don't worry. It's just because of 2 main things it's hockey today.1. This network is the product of an agreement between the NHL and Comcast/Spectacor2. Fresh off the Winter Classic and you have people's attention. Good way to catch people's attention. BigMac's posts make me want to punch babies.Hockey is weird and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What other programing are they going to have besides hockey?I know they're having an MLS match of the week, plus I would imagine their college football and basketball contracts with the Pac-12 and Mountain West will continue.Also, don't forget that we're in an Olympics year. NBC finally having a dedicated cable sports outlet probably means loads of live coverage of the lower-tier events, along with the trials leading up to the games. So if you want to watch something other than tape-delayed gymnastics interspersed with Compelling Backstories Through A Soft-Focus Lens, you'll probably find yourself on NBCSN for a good chunk of the Games.

Perfect Zero Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hockey is the main sport, and I assume that they'll have some college football, Notre Dame sports (besides football), Olympic Sports, Cycling, MLS, and one of my favorite sports in IndyCar. It's going to be like the alternative sports network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, there are no basketball games scheduled there this season. The only current contract they have for a conference is The Ivy League. ESPN and FOX worked together to gain a 12 year deal with the Pac-12 and keep programming away from NBCSports.In reality, look for Comcast, through xfinity, to move ESPN into the premium tier range along side HBO/Showtime since it already is the priciest basic cable channel by fourfold.

Kramerica Industries Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That's a massive relief. Outdoor programming needs to be retained and emphasized in some form. Glad Versus will still have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal Sports just moved-off of over-the-air digital TV to exclusive cable/satellite carriage over the weekend, but so far the national provider carrying it is DirecTV. They had cable carriage via the agreements through the NBC O&Os and affiliates (including a few stations outside of NBC, such as the CW affiliate in Houston).
