Phil Hersh also discussed this upcoming channel:

Globetrotting - A worldly view of sports | Chicago Tribune | Blog

Hersh is concerned that the IOC hasn't signed off on this project and
that its disapproval may negatively impact Chicago's Olympic bid:

"Nor did Chicago 2016 have any clue the USOC was going to announce
Wednesday the launch of its new television network, in partnership with
Comcast, despite having received an IOC warning Tuesday not to move
forward until a number of rights and marketing issues were resolved."

"In the press release announcing the network deal between Comcast and
the USOC, which carried the logos of both partners, there is a line
that makes cryptic expression of what I have learned was Comcast's
concern over going public without IOC approval: 'The transaction is
subject to closing conditions.'

"It also was telling that no Comcast executive took part in the media
conference call announcing the deal.

"A Comcast spokesperson declined comment."
