not as rough as that, it’s absolutely notable that the linear TV coverage of women’s golfer Nelly Korda’s bid for an unprecedented sixth straight LPGA Tour event title will largely be just tape-delayed coverage on Golf Channel.

It will be seen on linear TV as well, but that coverage will mostly be tape-delayed on NBCU’s Golf Channel (albeit with two hours of live coverage at the end of the tournament on CNBC Sunday).

The service had two exclusive NFL games this season, including one playoff one (to much complaining). NBCU has also have aired Notre Dame and Big Ten football games exclusively there. And they plan to heavily use Peacock for live coverage of much of this summer’s Paris Olympics, where they will also feature whiparound shows, highlights shows, and watch parties.
