AHB

The spelling with I rather than E means this:

free (I.e. "With our compliments [to the customer], bcz we want him to believe we would have charged for it, except that we *didn't want him to realize that we don't really think he's such a swell guy (our AHB) as he confidently knows hImself to be".

That situation could account for a common ignorant misspelling for the word "complementary", which should be used only in the sense of

providing what's needed to complete something,

e.g.

realtime broadcast of a competing second event that makes available complete set of option" or unrestricted choice'of realtime viewing of either one of two overlapping events, which would be a complement -- an means of completion -- or an instance of complementarity, -- no matter whether or not it costs extra.

It's awkward for me to break off and go check whether we have a math and logic article on complements already; presumably wikt' s lexicographic treatmeant of compliment makes a WP one redundant, tho I think an inter-wiki hatnote lk is called for, and will go be sure we've taken care of that at art'le.

Streaming Partners

The sidebar is missing YouTube TV as a streaming provider that carries the primary channel (and possibly NBCSP+ as well). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:C700:4EDE:8146:E9CD:F4C:CC87 (talk) 15:10, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Closed captioning

Could you please consider moving the closed captioning. It covers the score banner. Fox games puts cc in lower right of screenwhich is great! Thanks 73.187.163.56 (talk) 01:39, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

NOT MERGED

A consensus was formed that the former SportsChannel Philadelphia was distinct enough from the current NBC Sports Philadelphia to warrant having two separate articles, and that this distinction was an exception to perceived precedent with SportsChannel entities in other cities.

I propose merging SportsChannel Philadelphia into NBC Sports Philadelphia. The latter is simply a rebrand of the former, and both serve the exact same purpose - namely, broadcasting Philly sports. PRISM (TV channel) can probably stay as-is, as it broadcast movies in addition to Philly sports. JHD0919 (talk) 21:50, 12 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support - For comparison, the pages for almost all other cities that had their own SportsChannel link to the present-day network, similar to what JHD0919 is proposing. Red0ctober22 (talk) 22:42, 12 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The references in this period are very plain about these not being the same channel. Basically, Comcast paid Rainbow to shut down PRISM and SC Philly. This is different from some of the other NBC Sports RSNs.^[1] Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 08:06, 13 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Unlike the rest of the SportsChannel networks that changed hands and rebranded but still had some continuity on the local side, this was not a simple sale and rebrand. It does appear that in Philadelphia, SportsChannel outright closed to make room for a new channel that just happened to be centered around essentially the same core programming (Philly sports) as before, but with completely new business and behind-the-scenes operations. (This is most evident in that SportsChannel Philadelphia was carried on DirecTV–and that ended because DirecTV was reportedly not even offered Comcast SportsNet, which again was referred to explicitly as a "new channel" and not a rebrand of the old one.)
