Universal Sports going off free tv..

**missing** · 12-30-2011, 04:51 PM

I have Time Warner cable, and its on screen program listings have nothing for Universal Sports starting Jan. 1.

**DORISPULASKI** · 12-30-2011, 05:21 PM

I have Comcast here in CT, and I have listings past Jan 1!!

Plus tonight, US is airing a skating retrospective for 2011 at 8 PM. When I checked to see whether the guide was updated, there it was.

I have scheduled to record it

Let us know what happens, Doris!

I also have Comcast and have listings past Jan 1 but they're cooking shows and travel show. No sports.

I had Skiing, and a repeat of the year end figure skating retrospective, and the gymnastics retrospective.

I'm in South Jersey (Comcast)and checked through next Wednesday and there are all kinds of sports listed..skiing, skating, cycling bobsledding..If I keep US, I'll never post in a Tara/Michelle thread ever again..

It's a deal, kwanette. Luckily, I have Canadian tv to watch 4CC and Worlds.

Confirmed US is gone from FIOS in Boston. Guess its time for an IN subscription.

The Universal Sports page has been changed to say "Did you lose US?" When you go to that link, it reads -

Unless you have DIRECTV, fill out the form below to tell your TV provider that you want Universal Sports! When you're done, double your voice by calling 1-800-55-GET-US.

I have Comcast in Chicago and Universal Sports has completely disappeared.

That's interesting Doris; I also have Comcast in CT but as of Jan 1, 12 midnight my listings say "off air."

I did watch part of the 2011 retrospective and now have Hip Hip Chin Chin stuck in my head.

Found an article about Versus becoming NBC Sports - http://www.tvguide.com/News/Versus-N...s-1041158.aspx
It indicates that the change to NBC sports will happen on Monday, January 2nd. I think this date may be true for Universal sports as well. So - we may have one last day.

**Carmen Ovsiannikov** · 01-01-2012, 07:06 AM

I just checked my Universal Sports channel and officially have a black screen.

**judiz** · 01-01-2012, 07:22 AM

Universal Sports is off the air on FIOS in Northern New Jersey.

**DORISPULASKI** · 01-01-2012, 11:08 AM

We lost it too.

Apparently, the Guide download was just a teaser.
