NBCUniversal Explores Sports Cable Channel to Feature Peacock Content
NBCUniversal, the company behind Peacock, might start a new TV channel just for sports.
This channel would show the same sports games and events that are currently on Peacock.
The idea is to make it easier for people to watch sports, whether they pay for cable TV or stream online.
This comes as fewer people are subscribing to traditional cable.
It is still uncertain exactly how the channel will work or when it will start, but it could be ready as early as this fall.
NBCUniversal is considering a new sports-focused cable channel.
The channel would carry content currently available on Peacock.
The Wall Street Journal reports a possible launch as early as this fall.
The move comes as traditional TV bundles face cord-cutting.
The new channel's distribution within pay-TV packages is unclear.
