Astroblack Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 That's all well and good and I appreciate it but their analysis and coverage is awful. They treat the viewers like simpletons. They need new presenters and pundits. A nightly round up show that covers news and rumors would be ideal. And it should be easy to do. I'm sure that'd get higher ratings than the bicycle races they usually show at that time. Also with Fox, you'd get the saturday morning game, 10 am game and late kick off. With Fox Sports Plus you get a second 10am match. Then at 4, you'd get a tape delayed 10am game. Sunday you'd get all three games. if there's a game on Monday, you'd get that, too. So on a weekend out of 10 games, you'd have access to damn near nine games and they'd constantly be showing reruns throughout the week. I really miss that. On fox it felt like the Premier League was their franchise player where as on NBC, they're involved in so many other things, you only see football on when it's live. I honestly can't fathom how someone misses Fox's coverage compared to what NBC has done the last 2+ years. It's night and day. They've made the Premier League feel like an event every weekend. On Fox it felt like some secret channel that might also show darts and eating contests late at night. The second paragraph makes no sense. You're reminiscing about tape delayed games, reruns, and Fox Sports Plus. Barely anybody had that channel and the app/site sucked. We now have every single game live in HD on TV or any other device you want it. The fact they've renewed for six more years is fantastic news. NBC SN's listing for TODAY.... http://www.nbcsports.com/tv-listings Swimming, motocross, Golf, Volleyball. Those sports are far closer to the things you listed than what FSC showed which was only football. That's not late night, that's on right now. And yes, I do miss turning on the TV anytime and catching a football game I may have missed from the weekend. I appreciate the every game thing but the coverage has gone backwards.

StrandedX02 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Love that NBC is sticking around. Every network has commentators and analysts I find annoying, but honestly, that's why mute buttons exist. (Never had much of a problem with Arlo, for what it's worth.) I couldn't imagine going back to the tape delay days at this point. Though I do wish NBC would fix their web streams. Every time I've had to use them for some reason, the video has been pretty jerky, and it's got a weird aspect ratio when you put it in fullscreen mode.

SEMTEX Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've pretty much given up on expecting anything good from commentators/analysts, so it's just not something I judge coverage on anymore. They're all shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 NBC Sports has its fair share of niche events, which is part of why they make the Premier League feel big. Fox had them too except they largely treated the Premier League on the same level as Moto-X. That's the difference. Do a search on Twitter. The vast, vast majority of people are over the top excited about this announcement. As a rule, people hate every sports broadcaster and network and always want something different. That's not the case here and it's a testament to what NBC has done. Why are you downplaying the fact we get every single game live in HD? You'd trade that for replays and a couple more studio shows? By the way, go to nbcsports.com/liveextra and click on the Replay tab. You can watch replays all day long on your own schedule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 You can still watch replays of games on their website fyi. The main fact behind how good they've been is the Premier League has grown over here more than it ever did on Fox because it's not stuck a specialty channel.
