NBCSN Shutdown

[John2021]

I got a letter via snail mail today from dtv. Stating that nbscn won't broadcast on dtv channel 220. Nor will it be on any other provider. And that most of the programming will move over to the usa network on channel 242 and all other NBC programming will continue without interruption.. looks like nbcsn is closing down from what wiki says

Yes, correct. This was announced earlier this year.

Here is one report (from 01.22.2021):

NBC to shut down sports cable channel NBCSN

Programming that aired on the cable channel will eventually be broadcast across other platforms, including USA Network and the streaming platform Peacock.

A whole slew of weaker NBC channels will probably shut down soon ...all moving to peacock

I suspect if they had any immediate plans to do that, they'd have done it at the same time as NBCSN. Obvious candidates are Oxygen and Bravo, but reality TV seems to be what is keeping non-sports cable alive so they are staying put for now

Thanks for the link. Last night was the first I heard of it.

It has original programming, they'd probably shut down something like USA first.

Isn't USA one of the highest ratings channel?

And picking up the slack from NBCSN.
