NBC has attracted lots of praise and impressive ratings for its coverage of the Premier League this season, but unless Comcast loosens its purse strings on NBCSN, the network will have a difficult time keeping the U.S. TV rights to the Premier League when that TV deal is up for renewal next year. ESPN will do whatever it takes to keep Comcast from gaining any leverage in future carriage fee talks, and that includes leaving NBCSN with hockey, auto racing, and very little else.
But on the bright side, we’ll get to hear Ian Darke call Premier League games again in a few years.

You have to remember that Comcast overpaid for the last Premier League contract, so I dont think ESPN is going to blow them out the water at all.

There is a certain quality to his voice that I can't quite put my finger on. It just irks me. I'd much rather listen to Clive Tyldesley, Martin Tyler, or even Kevin Keatings.

 

None of them are Arlo White, but I think Darke is next man up.  Martin Tyler is a bit of a bore.
