    UK olympic rights are now all on Discovery Plus too. Except for select stuff that the sublease out to BBC.

    All we can hope for is that these streaming app interfaces become more User Friendly. Peacock and NBC Sports app are both subhuman.

    That's the other thing too. They have had the Olympics since 98 summer and 02 winter. This has to be their 5th or 6th rebrand and it seems like every time there is some regression. Meanwhile ESPN MLB and a few others have been at it and improving their existing platforms for the last 15 years. I don't think either are perfect but they are light years ahead in comparison.

    i was in awe with how much NBC went out of its way to Under-utilize the Olympic Channel.

    I didn't watch a ton other than wrestling and basketball due to lack of time, but I can't believe how poorly they utilized the cock. I expected mat feeds like ESPN does for nationals

    For some reason premier league games work on my nbc sports/peacock apps on my Apple TV but not the same apps on my Samsung TV. The Olympics and all other sports are there on Samsung. Just not premier league. Anyone experience this? Happened last year also.

    Peacock games are always there, but games on NBCSN never show up on my Samsung or the PS4 apps. I always just end up watching on Telemundo

    It also doesn't make sense cause I get on my NBC sports app on the phone and the games are there

    At 6:20am central I opened the peacock app on my Samsung TV, chose Liverpool-Burnley from the front page, and have been watching ever since. I don’t know what to tell you boomers who are struggling.

    Open the NBC sports app in a couple hours to watch the game that's broadcast on NBCSN, and there is nothing there. It's been like that for the last year. I almost rather these games be on peacock now anyways

    yeah it looks like they work on peacock. Today was just a weird issue. It seems like premier league just isn’t on the NBC sports app for Samsung TV but it is for Apple TV. Doesn’t make sense but I’ve just come to accept it.

    I wish all the games were on peacock as well now that I pay for it

    Thinking that CBS will make a big run at MLS. If it guarantees many games on big CBS, would take them over Fox in heartbeat.

    Paramount+ for UCL and cock for EPL. He wants to consolidate. I know UCL isn't a thing for small clubs so I understand your confusion.

    Ahh. Well that also applies to ESPN since the own the cup rights. You’d need ESPN+ and Paramount + either way. I was confused by him bringing Peacock into it since no one was talking about NBC keeping the rights

    It's literally always been this way for concacaf qualifying (unless you include the Bein days) because of the shitty way they sell rights or something like that.

    As someone who doesn’t watch live and just watches YouTube highlights/condensed games, ESPN is fucking terrible at that.

    NBC YouTube actually does a pretty great job.

    But I know I’m like a .0001% on that scenario
