The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the news.<br \/>\nThat programming shift to USA Network, another NBCUniversal-owned cable channel, includes the National Hockey League and NASCAR races. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>NBCUniversal&#8217;s new streaming service Peacock will also carry some of the programming that was on NBC Sports Network starting in 2022.<br \/>\n&#8220;We&#8217;re all aware of how quickly the media landscape is evolving, and our company is taking thoughtful steps to stay ahead of these trends wherever possible and, in many instances, help set them,&#8221; said the memo from NBCUniversal, which is owned by <span>Comcast<\/span> <span>(<span>CMCSA<\/span>)<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tom Brokaw retiring from NBC News after 55 years with the network\" class=\"media__image\" src=\"\/\/cdn.cnn.com\/cnnnext\/dam\/assets\/210122140456-tom-brokaw-file-restricted-large-169.jpg\"><\/noscript><br \/>\nNBCU added that the move to shut down NBC Sports Network will make USA Network &#8220;an extraordinarily powerful platform in the media marketplace.&#8221;<br \/>\nPatrick Crakes, a former Fox Sports executive turned media consultant, echoed this point to CNN Business on Friday.<br \/>\n&#8220;It makes the remaining channels and brands stronger, from NBC to Peacock,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Call it reverse segmentation.&#8221;<br \/>\nUSA Network is arguably one of the most popular channels in NBCUniversal&#8217;s lineup, and adding live sports &#8212; some of the most vital and highly rated programming left on traditional TV &#8212; is likely to make USA even stronger.<br \/>\nCable companies have been under strain as consumers &#8220;cut the cord,&#8221; choosing instead to pay for streaming services like <span>Netflix<\/span> <span>(<span>NFLX<\/span>)<\/span> rather than paying a cable bill.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Enter Peacock. The new streaming service is the focal point of NBCUniversal&#8217;s future business strategy, so having more live sports on the service provides consumers more incentives to sign up. Peacock already airs many Premier League soccer games.<\/p>\n<p><em>Correction: A previous version of this story misstated plans for Premier League programming.<\/em><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2021\/01\/22\/media\/nbc-sports-network-shut-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>New York (CNN Business)NBC Sports Network is shutting down at the end of this year, the company said on Friday.
