They'll take a hit for this. I doubt enough people sign up to make it more worthwhile than the add stream they currently have.This is HUGE and bad.
NBC is cutting all the overflow channels. Those games will also not be available for free on NBC Live Extra streaming. All those games will be put on new paid streaming only service. So only the big games involving big teams will be available to cable subscribers every week without paying an extra fee, and occasionally even games involving one of the majors will be paid streaming only.

Oh my god, this is so goddamned disappointing. Especially because a lot of those matches on Extra Time are matches I DVRd, and I doubt we'll be able to "save" them to stream later.This is HUGE and bad.

Headline: "NBC and the Premier League score an own goal with new subscription service."
The top 7 overspend their income to chase UCL. The bottom 7 overspend their income to avoid relegation. The middle 6 have to overspend their income just to tread water.No great shock to any of us, I'm sure, but a consultancy firm just announced that the Premier League clubs, considered as a whole, are operating at an £876,000 / day deficit.
