Page "United States Olympic Committee" Paragraph 31

In 2009, the USOC and Comcast announced plans for The U. S. Olympic Network, which would have aired Olympic-sports events, news, and classic footage.

However, the USOC met opposition from the International Olympic Committee, which preferred to deal with NBCU ( and its then-new Universal Sports joint venture ).

Since then, Comcast has purchased a majority share of NBCU.

Meanwhile, there has been no news about this network since mid-2009 and the status of this concept is uncertain ; however, it may be merged somehow with Universal Sports now that they are co-owned.
