Yes, you read that correctly.
NBC picked up the rights to broadcast the premier league games here in the USA from Fox Sports & ESPN.
They have announced that every game will be shown live ! and subscribers to US cable/satellite will also be able to see the games live online using NBC apps.
This means for us US based blues we'll never miss a game.
What's even more amazing, these NBC channels are normally part of the basic cable/satellite packages and will not cost extra.
Mods : I appreciate there's already a NBC thread about promotion in NY, but I thought the issue of broadcasting deserved its own thread.
