Bye Bye NBCSN

[SFspidur]

10 days after the A-10 proudly announced a multi-year renewal partnership with NBCSN, NBC announces that it's shutting the network down by the end of the year. Sounds about right.

Ugh. We were getting a lot of A10 games on that channel. A10 looks a little silly. For any NHL fans it's not good either.

I stuck with CBS sports network I don't even have that channel. I am stuck with the radio basically.

The LaSalle game is on NBCSN and will be the only game I will be unable to watch this season.

i guess this will push A10 games over to Peacock. Curious how it all may affect the value of the league contract, if at all. While it hasn't been an extraordinary amount of money it definitely was something.

It does say the end of the year. Last time I checked it's still January. So why are you guys saying that we can no longer get the games? Are they really shutting down now?

 

[SFspidur]

No, they're not shutting down yet.

Nobody was saying that. We're all just looking ahead. Yes by end of year. But this will be last season on NBCSN, they certainly won't start a new college bball year in Nov. Maybe they'll get some college football in the Fall but kind of doubt that too.

The article I read said content would be pushed to USA Network or Peacock. It will be interesting to see which gets the A10 games.

 

[SFspidur]

No way the A-10 games get on USA, a basic cable channel. That’ll be reserved for bigger things like NASCAR and NHL. A-10 games will undoubtedly end up on the premium tier of Peacock, presuming the deal with NBC remains in place.

Someone on Twitter with a checkmark said that A10 will be moving to USA. Not sure how much stock to put on that though

 

[SFspidur]

I find it really hard to believe, but apparently so. Shocking, actually. More people get USA than get ESPN.

Burnadette does it again.
