I don't think the USA Network or the NBC Sports parts will happen. The latter because there is no point in introducing another brand when you you own the UK market leader in Pay Sports. And I've not seen the USA Network name mentioned in even the US news stuff I look at for quite some time, their shows don't get mentioned these days, let alone in the UK where I've not seen their name since the early days of Channel 5 on the end of shows they bought back then.

It costs money to introduce new brands and most media companies are consolidating around just a few brands these days. I just don't see it.
