When does it start?
Oh, I Googled it.
The Versus channel switches to NBC Sports Network January 2nd.

ESPN is to sports news what MTV is to music videos.
Ok, that's unfair. ESPN does put on Sportscenter nightly along with a few sports talk shows in the late afternoon. Aside from that, it's all live or taped sports.
ESPN moved the 24 hour news to ESPNNews.
I have to think NBC's new endeavor will be something to watch, particularly when it's time to renew TV contracts with the four big sports...and the MLS. If they're serious about competing with ESPN, they'll have to pull off a major coup that will draw in a lot of viewers.
