That turned out to be Ron McLean's big break as he had just started with CBC and they needed a replacement for Hodge after that incident.

NESN Launches New 4K HDR Studio, Will Broadcast 2021 Red Sox Games in 4K HDR
NESN to launch a new studio Thursday when the Bruins season starts, was upgraded to 4K and says 4K games will start for the 2021 Red Sox season. Mentions nothing about the Bruins in 4K. Hopefully don't have to wait till October for 4K Bruins coverage.

no, the original rumor was September, 2021, or if Tokyo was to be held as it is currently scheduled.......
it will kill Indycar, since they have an exclusivity agreement..... it may kill IMSA, as well, since the Sportscar races are exclusive property ...
Next Weekend is the opening of Motorsports on North American tracks for 2021 with the ROLEX 24 @ Daytona
Also possible NBC is out as a NHL rights holder after this season. Contract is up, that or they will become the secondary rights holder.
Personally I don’t think it’s a coincidence timing of the NHL deal ending and the station folding are in line.
Why do all twitter links now just show as the silly blue bird and can't see the actual tweet?
NBCSN is gone as 1/2022.... DOUBTFUL Peacock will pick up that contract, because it would have to be renewed, and no one has Peacock even a streaming option, nevermind paying extra on top of cable
there's supposed to be a meeting on the 26th, to explain why the shutdown of NBCSN and what NBCSG will do going forward.
when you hear this: it makes you wonder what's next, the loss of NECN AND/OR THE REGIONAL RSN's
The word I got from Stamford is NBC expects to lose the NHL to FOX/ESPN.

Log into Twitter from the same PC/Phone you access HFBoards with.
The Twitter API requires a login to show Twitter content on Message Boards like this. So if it tries to log into Twitter behind the scenes and CAN'T you will get the blank box with the twitter logo.
Traffic latency can do it as well, but HFBoards is not very sluggish right now.

As of now it only effects NBCSN. It’s possible USA gets a game or two a week but no way the amount of coverage they have now. I’d say next to zero chance NBC keeps it all and 50/50 NBC gets a secondary package (NHL has made it clear they want to be on multiple networks next season)
I’ve heard the same thing, and if NBC does end up keeping anything it would be the secondary package with the Stanley Cup Finals etc going elsewhere.

Shame.
NBC has been the best broadcast partner this league has ever had. I don't like Fox's presentation for the sports it covers now, and can't imagine they'll give hockey the spotlight it deserves.
That said, if they bring back the glowing puck and the robots that kill each other after goals, I'm all in.

This is awful NBC is going all in on peacock. You'll get EPL and NHL covered OK on USA for a year and then pretty much everything will go to Peacock because they think they can get people to sign up for it like ESPN/Disney does.
Sports are why you pay for cable this stuff is disgusting. I have enough monthly media subscriptions I don't need NBC Sports to become another.

Disney+ now has close to 90 million subscribers and many package Hulu and ESPN+ with it.

Any cord cutters have a solution to NESN not being on any of the main services? I figured they'd break and sign back on with Youtube TV before the season started but that doesn't seem to be happening. I'd hate to go back to regular cable TV. Not just because I'm sick of it, but all my TVs are now the same brand of smart TV and I kind of love having no boxes/cables hanging out of them. Plus I've situated them all in my new house in a way that running a box to them is going to be ugly. And I'm sure as hell not going to carry two TV services just to watch the Bs...
