Dual branding on NBC

[MarcB]

There is a Golf tournament on NBC right now. At the bottom right hand corner of the screen is the Golf Channel logo along with a smaller NBC logo. Another result of the COMCAST-NBC marriage.

Its been like that since day 1 of the merger, its all Golf Channel on NBC now, I think they logos go well together.

Come-on NBC, we don't care what the brand is, just give us the damn golf match!

No different from seeing the ESPN branding on ABC sporting events, primarily college football.

I hate it too.

So was Golf Channel always Comcast owned? Or was it once independent?

How About San Francisco Giants Games airing on an NBC O&O like KNTV in San Jose produced by the Comcast Sports crew.

Always by Comcast AFAIK

@recto101 - I would have to think they would still bear the identity of KNTV, as is the case with many RSN-produced "free TV" broadcasts.

They do in the case of KNTV they use the comcast Graphics with the NBC logo covered on it for KNTV coverage of giants games.
