Tweets from Jonathan Tannenwald (@thegoalkeeper) concerning NBC’s future coverage of EPL:
- Arlo White is moving back to England. Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux will be NBC’s lead color analysts. Saturday: 7 am and 10 am on NBCSN, 12:30 on NBC, Sunday: 8 am on NBCSN, 11 am on NBCSN and Telemundo. Midweek: 2:30 on NBCSN. All times ET.
- Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe will be studio analysts in Stamford, Conn., alongside host Rebecca Lowe. Gary Lineker will be a “special contributor” and occasionally host on-site studio coverage.
- All 380 games will be live on TV with pregame and postgame studio coverage and streamed through the NBC Sports Extra app.
- 20 games on NBC, 154 on NBCSN, 22 on other NBCUniversal channels, 184 on Premier League Extra time, 10 on Telemundo, 66 on mun2.
- A two-hour show Mondays with condensed Man United and City games from that weekend and a two-hour show Tuesdays with condensed matches of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. Fans of parity will surely enjoy. “Modeled after the BBC show of the same name.” Re-aired Sunday mornings, then a 90-minute MOTD2 (yes, with that name) Sunday night.
- “A two-hour show featuring extended highlights with the natural calls of every game on Saturday.” The show’s name? Match Of The Day.
- “All games not aired on a designated NBCUniversal channel will be made available to distributors on Premier League Extra Time a package of overflow channels available at no extra cost” for anyone who has NBC Sports Network, or so it says.
NBC Sports Promo Filmed Partly in Tucson
youtube.comA tweet from Golazo just reminded me that this sweet NBC Sports MLS promo I saw for the first time on Saturday was partly filmed in Tucson at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium during the Desert Cup. How Flair is Punished! interviewed Matt Reis for a Special Episode: Matt Reis eats a donut as this was being filmed on the field. It looked super cool. Glad to see such awesome results.
“If you’re a hockey fan, and you don’t like Zach Parise, you’re not a real hockey fan,”
Screw you, NBC. You are all a bunch of biased douchebags. I really hope you guys aren’t reporting the playoffs next year, because you don’t deserve it. You’ve done nothing but talk massive shit about the Flyers throughout the playoffs. I hate you guys.
