NFL 2024-2025 Season

[Don in CT]

The one this week is Not a Regular Season game.

Apologies, I thought you were talking about the Friday opener.

 

[Jimbo]

Apologies, I thought you were talking about the Friday opener.

Nope, this Friday's game actually ...

No Problem ...

Personally, I think its stupid to have Regular Season game outside of the USA ... its a disadvantage to Both teams.

You're thinking like a sports fan.

It has nothing to do with common sense or fairness. It's about the money, growing the brand, etc. How many Cowboy caps and shirts does Jerry Jones sell in England? I'm surprised the NFL doesn't already have a team in Mexico City. I'm thinking sombreros with Forty Niner logos on them and 100,000 fans sucking down the smog on Sunday afternoon.

Peacock is carrying the NBC Games.

Yes, but NBC ISN'T carrying the Peacock games.

In an equality, the relationship must go both ways.

NBC has the exclusive rights with the IOC. So yes NBC is carrying the games for peacock.

We're talking NFL in this thread.

With respect to the Summer Games, most of the content hours-wise is on USA which is pretty much 100% Paris Games. All of the content is on Peacock.

Using the term "NBC" to represent the entirety of NBC Universal Media (or, conversely, in reference to NBC Sports) is sloppy, lazy and generally bad practice. It is like using the term "Chevrolet" when talking about General Motors as a corporate entity or "Whole Foods" when talking about Amazon.

NBC Universal Media LLC is the official company name that owns the NBC television network.

Is that the organization that you're referring to when you say "NBC"?

 

[Don in CT]

Is that the organization that you're referring to when you say "NBC"?

Yes, and they are the owner of Peacock. So NBC and Peacock are siblings.

Yes, and they are the owner of Peacock. So NBC and Peacock are siblings.

Peacock falls under the auspices of "NBC Direct-to-Consumer and Digital Enterprises" branch. NBC DTC&DE is a sibling to NBC Sports and NBC Cable Entertainment Group (E!, SyFy, USA, etc.) and others.

Would you answer if we called your sibling's name?

My point is that it is important not to be sloppy in throwing these references around as subscribing to the wrong service may not get you what you hoped for. Assuming that you're going to see all the Peacock games on your local NBC affiliate isn't going to work out.

Just as it is inappropriate to refer to Diamond Sports Group as "Sinclair", it is inappropriate to refer to pretty much anything as "NBC".

Peacock is an American over-the-top video streaming service owned and operated by Peacock TV LLC, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal Media Group.

Lamborghini is a subsidiary of Audi which is, in turn, a subsidiary of the Volkswagon Group. Would you call an Aventador a Volkswagon (or Audi or Cupra or SEAT or Porshe or Skoda or Bentley or Ducati)?

For NBC, the tree starts at Comcast and sprawls across many levels

Comcast owns all of it but the cable and entertainment divisions are separated.

 

[harshness]

Comcast owns all of it but the cable and entertainment divisions are separated.

As is the sports division. There is arguably no "NBC".

 

[Don in CT]

As is the sports division. There is arguably no "NBC".

NBC is still the National Broadcasting Company.

 

[harshness]

NBC is still the National Broadcasting Company.

Where does that subsidiary appear in the current Comcast family tree?

Universal Television.

Universal Television LLC (abbreviated as UTV) is an American television production company that is a subsidiary of Universal Studio Group, a division of NBCUniversal, which, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast. It serves as the network television production arm of NBC; a predecessor of the company, NBC Studios, previously assumed such functions, and a substantial portion of the company's shows air on the network.

The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American commercial broadcast television and radio network serving as the flagship property of the NBC Entertainment division of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. The headquarters of NBC is in New York City at the Comcast Building. NBC also has offices in Chicago at the NBC Tower.

This structure is so convoluted at this point.

And people will Continue to find things to Argue about ....

 

[Jimbo]

Yes, but NBC ISN'T carrying the Peacock games.

Just curious, We've been told that the Streaming service covers everything that the Network would have ...

NBC may not carry the Peacock games, but Peacock Will carry the NBC games .... right ?
