NBC Sports Channel(ch.220) going dark at the end of the year

and USA will need an alt / blackout / reverse mirror feed.
And will they have more NHL playoff games on NBC?
NBC to lose the NHL in 2022?

 

Hopefully they don't ultimately move it to Peacock.

 

can commercial bars get that?

 

yeah, most likely they are losing it to either ESPN for ESPN+ to gain more NHL content or Fox Sports for FS1/FS2 to get leverage for the 2 sports networks.

if you look at espn+ they already have a game a night, so it's that would make sense

 

I'd doubt it.

 

and what is ESPN+ plan for commercial use? Keep it on cable / sat like how UFC ppv is still there (commercial use only ppv)

 

NHL Hockey needs to go back to being on ESPN and the occasional game on ABC.

 

'At the beginning of the pandemic NBCSN was in around 80 million homes and had a sub fee a bit above $.40, meaning it was making NBC ~$400 million annually before advertising is taken into account'
That is what NBC are walking away from. It was also the No2 ranked sports channel in 2020 after ESPN. Beggars belief.
Could they not air sports simultaneously on NBCSN and Peacock. Best if both worlds like they do in the UK? Streaming and cable covered.

 

I presume nothing will replace this channel on satellite/cable? I know cable is on the way out but this channel slot is still in 80 million homes?

 

So is USA. There just moving the programming around

 

NASCAR: contract runs through 24, contract prohibits races being internet exclusives or behind internet paywalls. Long term the self-inflicted wounds that NASCAR management has done to the sport have collapsed the ratings, Fox is rumored to want out. Will be interesting.
Euro soccer: don't know, don't care.
NHL: contract runs out after this season, ESPN is reportedly interested.
Indy: contract runs out after this season

 

I don't think the NHL will want games on an internet exclusives service and may want them in commercial establishments!

 

if ESPN get's the NHL and keeps there other sports Will ESPN NEWS change to ESPN 3 and be forced into the basic level packages?

 

The stuff on ESPN+ can't legally be shown by bars/restaurants. As you say they still offer UFC as a PPV on Directv (and maybe other services) for commercial accounts to get those, but everything else on ESPN+ is unavailable unless/until ESPN offers some legal way for that.

It will be the same for the NBCSN stuff that moves to Peacock.

 

NHL was told that one of the outlets games would move to with NBCSN gone is Peacock.

 

and will they put playoff games on Peacock? and will they NHL take that? make an contract issue of it? Look the other way when bars just hook up an non commercial sub of that?
