NBC Sports Chicago's current ownership structure is 25% NBC Sports, 50% Reinsdorf, 25% Wirtz. I guess it could go back to being Comcast SportsNet if Comcast retains it's stake?

They aren't shutting down the golf channel or olympic network, so I'm pretty sure this is just consolidating and getting rid of a cost, not getting out of sports in general. Regardless if it's NBC Sports, it appears Comcast/NBC Universal will keep a 25% stake, and it will probably still be called NBCSN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Didn't NBC have some Saturday afternoon games on this channel the last couple years? Or was that only FS1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The regional networks print money. They won't be affected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hopefully this doesn't mean the end of the NBC Sports streaming app. Use that app a lot for streaming games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt it will change anything other than moving some national content to the Peacock pay tier. NBC Sports is an entity that has three national and seven regional sports networks, as well as showing content on NBC Broadcast, non-sports cable channels, and the premium Peacock service, all of which are available on the NBC sports app. The only thing that is changing is that one of the national sports networks (the eponymous one) is going away, with its content shifting to USA and Peacock.
