NBC Sports Network's "The Lights"

[SmootSmack]

NFL would take priority, after that I'm sure a variety of factors would come into play. For various reasons, ESPNews could not succeed as a highlights only network, but I think NBCSN has a potential to reach an unsatisfed market. Contrary to belief, I'm not naive or blind to ESPNs weaknesses, will be interesting to see if NBC can expose this one

Are you sure? That seems to be popular opinion around here. I'm not going to get into it about Skip Bayless with you though, obviously you know him better having worked with him, but I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing when he puts insane comments out there.

As far as this goes, it will be interesting to see if this can pick up the viewership needed for sustained success. I certainly hope it succeeds, it would be nice to have options other than ESPN to catch highlight packages on.
