I could have sworn that it's already been confirmed that NBC will be launching it's own soccer network.
NBC was criticized for using tape delays with the London Olympics and I believe this is a big fear most viewers have with the BPL. They have announced that there will be no tape delays for the bPL here in America, which to me, is just one hurdle. The second hurdle they will have to jump is viewing all games on one channel or breaking it up into multiple channels.
I have Direct TV and I have to purchase FOX Soccer which is $14.99 (i think). Then, some CHELSEA games are not always on the main channel so I have to order FOX SOCCER PLUS which is an additional $12.99 or so. I will be really pissed if I have to do the same. Why can't they just have one package for everything?
Just found a clip about channeling:

NBC's English-language networks will televise six live games a week. One or two of the company's other cable channels will also be used, Lazarus said, but which has not been determined yet as schedules are evaluated. Other games will be streamed live online.
Looks like lesser clubs will be online which for me sucks but oh well. I really hope NBC takes the premier league in the same direction FOX SOCCER was going. It continued to grow and more and more people were starting to view.
Also, all games on ESPN will come to a halt as well because FOX SOCCER shared a portion with them.

I think I also read that NBC would stream games as well.
Here is a good article about NBC's planned coverage:
14 Things We Know So Far About NBC’s US Coverage Plans for the Premier League 2013-16
After NBC Univeral’s announcement tonight, we now know a lot more about their Premier League coverage plans for 2013-16.
Here’s what we know so far:
1. NBC will make all Premier League matches available for viewing.
2. All of the Premier League games will be shown live. Games will not be shown on tape delay.
3. NBC’s English-language networks will show 6 live Premier League games a week. One or two of NBC’s cable will be used along with NBC Sports Network. Other games will be streamed live.
4. NBC Sports Network will be the main channel to watch most EPL games.
5. Approximately 18-20 Premier League matches per season will be shown live on free-to-air NBC, primarily on Saturdays.
6. Telemundo and mun2 will show Spanish-language coverage of the Premier League in the U.S.
7. Among the TV channels where Premier League matches may be viewable are NBC, NBC Sports Network, Telemundo and mun2; among other channels which could include CNBC, MSNBC, USA and Bravo.
8. Matches will also be live-streamed on the NBC Sports Live Extra platform across web, tablet and mobile devices.
9. Mid-week Premier League games will be available digitally or through some sort of arrangement with MVPDs (multichannel video programming distributors) on some sort of pay TV package.
10. NBC’s coverage of the Premier League will begin with the 2013-14 season (in August, 2013) and will end with the 2015-16 season (in May, 2016).
11. NBC will include pre- and post-match shows, as well as highlight and weekly wrap-up programs
12. NBC may partner with BT on production. The two media companies have already had early talks regarding a deal.
13. It’s a near guarantee that NBC Sports soccer commentator Arlo White will be a prominent role in the coverage of the Premier League.
14. NBC will be in an acquisition mode to hire talent for its coverage of the Premier League.
The only major questions marks I have thus far are: 1) How much will their premium package cost to ensure that Premier League fans in the United States can have access to all of the live games throughout the entire season, 2) How many of the games will be shown in HD, and 3) Will the matches feature NBC commentators, or will the audio feed from TWI/IMG be used instead (as FOX Soccer does except for rare circumstances where they use the Sky Sports audio feed)?

Can someone break this down? Will people have access to mid-week games on television like you can watch games on FSC? It's nice being able to ignore soccer news then watch on the DVR as if it is live.

I am not 100% sure what that means. pay TV package could just mean a channel on a sports package or it could be a subscription based thing. Hopefully not subscription.

Unless NBC makes a soccer channel themselves, we won't get round the clock soccer etc which sucks. I love the league review shows, sky sports shows, rugby on fsc2....
Honestly besides the obvious 247 soccer coverage I will miss Sky Sports & Sky News the most it was great to have FSC a sibling company to Sky so those shows could be broadcasted here as well
Oh and shows like Being: Liverpool and Football Next Big Star will be sadly missed as well

BREAKING: bob costas will anchor the NBC soccer channel and bring John Madden out of retirement to commentate the live game of the week

I'm with you.
This is, to me, simply sad. Got FSC when we upgraded to digital coming back from Katrina. I'd waited 20 years for this much soccer, and now we got it. Then they went and fricked up The Report.
I'd prefer an American show, but I miss Derek Rae, Jeremy St. Louis and Michelle Lissel. Most of the analysts stink, too. Danny Dichio is passable.
FSC is like losing a friend.
