The next part of the NBC/Versant split is announced.

This allows extra Olympic events formerly on USA and CNBC to be on a new channel owned by Comcast, and not Versant. This also opens the door to the WNBA Finals every third year, and the NASCAR Cup Series (which would have been on Peacock only races, which NASCAR teams have been concerned since the Amazon races have devastated exposure) and additional NBA and Big Ten games for all sports (primarily women's sports), and the Premier League.

The Versant split does not legally affect the PGA Tour, but will legally affect the USGA, PGA of America (Senior and Women's Championships and Ryder Cup) and The R&A coverage.

In summary, NBC and YouTube are seeking new ways to make watching professional sports cost prohibitive, primarily by overpriced subscriptions.

There was a time when selling commercials was sufficient. The greed is a turnoff.
