Comcast owns NBC. NBC owns Universal Sports. I don’t get Universal Sports on Comcast anymore.
*head asplode*
As always.. US has the best swimmers.. how can you have from FAR one of the Worst coverages?
basketball, American football, baseball, etc.
Brazil is a soccer like oriented country.. but if you got cable tv.. we would have 7 different Sports Channel.. so you can watch anything.. should not the US have the same thing on Cable TV? Or Universal are such a bunch of a*******s that they buy the right, just not to show and not let anyone else does??
They are showing the meet like eleven zillion times on Universal Sports-I was digging around in the program guide looking for it the other day, and are typically airing each finals session 4-5 times. They’re just not showing it live for some reason unknown.
Anyone had any luck with the app for this? I’m getting swimming but not but not sc worlds.
