Yesterday the English Premier League games usually carried as part of the NBC Sports Extra Live package disappeared from their scheduled U-Verse "extra" channels in Atlanta.
This is week 22 of the EPL and all the EPL games have been available for the prior 21 weeks. With no explanation, screen scrolls or anything else, the channels (1691, 1693 and 1694) where the NBC Sports website said the 10:00 am games would be available, showed their usual "Off-air" message and no extra games were broadcast.
I spoke today with a U-Verse supervisor who, without saying it directly, made it sound as if it was a "failure to agree" between NBC and ATT that led to the games being pulled. These games are an important reason I stick with U-Verse and I'd really like to know if this sort of arbitrary withdrawal of scheduled programs is going to continue.
