NBCU reportedly considering new linear cable sports network

[Bob Jersey]

Said Joe Flint at WSJ, hearing from sources... a consultant tells him it would not hurt Peacock, from which plenty of its content would be... they're likely preparing for the distinct possibility that after Versant swipes all those channels like USA, they wouldn't have enough bandwidth to carry wide-ranging stuff such as NASCAR and the Olympics...

In other words, NBC committed to the Olympics, but on reflection can’t see how to actually profit from it

NBCSN 2.0 appears to be a go, as a new deal announced with Youtube TV and NBCU (part of which might or might not be honoured by Versant when the spinoff occurs) includes it... the deal also adds Peacock's fare to the separate Youtube Primetime Channels, which already incorporates other streamers' content, and extends its availability through Android platforms Google Play/Google TV:
