NBC has told distributors and some sports leagues that it plans to shut down its NBCSN sports channel by the end of the year. NBC’s most recent affiliate deals with Charter and Dish Network do not include carriage for NBCSN beyond this year, sources said. Plus, sports leagues that have deals with NBC were being told of the changes this week.

Kill the PC networks. Too bad NBC doesn't go defunct.

What is it?

A good start.

I used to love watching sports. Not anymore. I don’t need to reprogrammed on a regular basis. Just play the game.

When they politisized the sports world they destroyed it. Its time they are destroyed

“Kill the PC networks. Too bad NBC doesn’t go defunct.”

There’s big money behind keeping the propaganda flowing, in spite of losing viewership.

If that means I don't have to watch or listen to that butt kisser Chris collingsworth then it's all worth it

The NHL is on there heavily, and they are not over the top woke athletes.

They also carried some of the PLL games, this isn’t Woke ESPN.

Oh noooo, NHL broadcasts without Pierre McGuire will never be the same...[chuckle].

[albie]

So now most music, all sports, except golf, and all my in laws are off limits. I’m running out of things to do.

[wildcard_redneck]

Go woke, go broke.

The massive corporations that own these broadcasters are not running them for profit, they are running them for propaganda purposes.

Nothing beats that smug asshole Bob Costas. This POS elevates the art of being an arrogant east coast pile of leftist crap to another level. Even before Kaperdick, he would insert his stupid leftist politics at every touchdown..

[airborne]

My first thought - there goes the NHL games.

But they have a contract and they will have to finish out the season, not?

Exactly. So where are we to watch all the NHL games that are always carried on NBCSN?

“all sports, except golf”

Have you considered MMA UFC fighting? More sportsmanship in one fight than a whole Sunday of pro football and president of the UFC Dana White is BIG supporter of President Trump.

From the article, looks like we’ll have to tune into USA Network and possible subscribe to Peacock for NHL games. GRR... I don’t want to subscribe to any leftist NBC streaming service!

[Skywise]

I’m still wondering if the destruction of sports and competition isn’t part of the larger Obama plan to turn us into communists - where competition is evil.

A switch to USA Network for NHL games is likely. However, the NHL has been involved with some “woke” activities. Not as bad as other major leagues, though. NBCSN fired Mike Milbury and Jeremy Roenick pertaining to different un-PC cultural statements and the latter is suing for wrongful termination.
