>> NBCUniversal’s wide breadth of sports featured on USA and The Golf Channel, which includes the English Premier League, NASCAR, WWE, the Olympics, college basketball, PGA Tour and other content, will still be featured on the cable networks, the release said. While NBC’s broadcast network and Peacock will still carry sports content, it’s expected for it to be shared with the spun-off networks in the future, the person said. <<

So its good that UFL isn't on NBC and we knew they were scaling back but EPL etc likely isn't happy.  NBC, also is shifting to alot of sports itself as creating good entertainment seems ever harder for these talentless major TV companies.

Where do things go from here?  Its not like peacock is strong with 36mm subscribers.  And the where will the chips fall for Paramount/CBS and WB over the next year?  Then there are the broadcast netlets in CW and ION.
