I don't think thats the issue though. Speaking for myself, I have a handful of channels that I'll always flick through (The ESPN's, MSG, YES, NFL net. TVG etc.) and NBC Sports isn't on the list. I'm guessing that's the case for a lot of other people too, because besides hockey what else does the channel have to offer? So if it was carried on ESPN, you might possibly gain some viewers who stumble across it as opposed to NBC Sports network. I know it's a real stretch, but I just feel like it has a better chance of picking up viewers (and being seen by advertisements) on ESPN, then on NBC sports.
