@wtvg1 i know i'm just amazed i saw a commercial for during the 2011 winter classic i thought they were keeping vs i thought they were making a whole new channel

[wtvg1]

@sportswwefan1 nope. Comcast brought 51% of NBCUniversal, L.L.C. that year and announced later that year in August to rebrand the network as the NBC Sports Network, which was launched effective 4:00 PM on 1/2/12 (yesterday.)

@wtvg1 oh i hate when they change channels on me and don't tell me

[wtvg1]

@sportswwefan1 Lmao. It happens when major companies like NBCUniversal want to make changes to most or not, all properties.

ESPN, say hello to your worst nightmare... the NBC Sports Network.

[wtvg1]

@019Redwings I don't see it as a total nightmare for ESPN. ESPN is too powerful in it's own brand.
