NBCSN to end operations by the end of the year.

What does the mean for ND fans? Any game that is bumped from NBC will now have one of two homes: USA Network, or the newish Peacock streaming service.

Looking at future schedules, I won't be surprised to see some games on peacock.


Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

Is this the old 'Versus' network, or the regional Comcast sports channels?

It's time to leave NBC and launch the Notre Dame Channel.

If it were purely a paid offering, how many people would pay $2/month for this? 4 million subscribers = $96M / year.

Or, more likely, it gets distributed by the usual suspect - HULU, Comcast, Time Warner, etc. I don't know the economics of this arrangement, but have to think they would be dramatically better than the reported $15M/yr from NBC.

On second thought, 24 hrs a day of Collinsworth's and Golic's would be tough to stomach for even the biggest ND fan. Never mind.

This may give ND an out of the contract if we want to look for warmer waters. It would be nice to

In this day and age why not host our own stream online? We don't need a network anymore and everyone

has internet enabled tvs and devices. The idea of a network in order to deliver the content is very antiquated.

Streaming is just a supplement to broadcast television or another way to get the broadcast station

There is no way you take your team off of broadcast television.

I think this is an understatement to the power, depth, breadth of the internet.

Just curious, how old are you (serious question)?

Internet allows you to be your own station... You own 100% of the revenue and determine what affiliates to share it with rather than you being the affiliate that the network station decides how much of the revenue you get and for what.

See: Facebook, Google, Amazon, Instagram, What'sApp (invasion on banking in China), Tecent, Alibaba... etc.

Makes a whole lotta sense. Only thing...streaming is a such younger demo type of thing. I'm sure...

theyve been testing to see what if they went to such a service. Old timers who are use to clicking the remote for NBC may not be ready to log in.

Also Roku, Apple TV, whatever your choice. It's not hard and generally has all the options you need.

Those old timers are gonna miss a lot of life if they hold true to the remote. Get on the internet.

I had thought cutting the cable was a good idea until I added up all the costs

- Can’t get “Local” ota stations where I live
- Cost for the individual streaming options can add up
- Where I live cutting cable jacks up my high speed internet cost significantly.

What do you mean it jacks up your high speed internet cost?

That shouldn't change? Unless you had under 20-25mbps. Do you have Xfinity (Comcast as an option)? Even low-end AT&T options will run most all you need for 1 or 2 tvs. Now, if you have a big house that may be an issue with the wifi in the house. So, you could need extenders or repeaters; or a Google Mesh network.

Yes, if done wrong you do incur a lot of cost. YouTube TV has more sports and most anything you'd

really want to watch. Though they have jacked the price all in internet + youtube is around $100.

There is also an app that will get you your locals that can run through Roku if that is an issue - www.locast.org

To your point the last year has been much more unfavorable than in prior years as TV providers lost so many it's created a ton of streamer copy cats. But, you can't really watch all that stuff anyway so I feel like it's helping us better pick where we really want to spend our time and money.

It will be interesting to see what happens with NASCAR and Indycar also.

Would you pay for a Peacock subscription just to watch one or two ND games per year?

I’ll bet a lot of auto racing fans will pony up the $$$’s to do so.

I have avoided a Peacock subscription. I’ve cut the cable bill out, but now with Internet, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, I’m probably back up to what cable would have been. (I’ve currently got Hulu on pause.) These subscriptions start to add up!
