NBC and Comcast are teaming up to rebrand the former Versus network into a 24-hour sports network.

The worry here is that in the long run TV rights will rise tremendously and will be passed down to the consumer. And with the reach of almost 50 million homes, Comcast has the ability to grow this venture quickly.
