Malloy to Announce NBC Sports Deal Tuesday at Stamford Site.

As first reported at Daily Ructions nearly two weeks ago, NBC Sports is moving to Stamford, Connecticut.  Governor Dannel P. Malloy will make the announcement Tuesday at the Blachley Road site of the network’s new facility, formerly the site of a Clairol hair dye factory.

NBC’s entertainment programming has been mired in fourth place in primetime ratings. Even the Tonight Show–with Jay Leno returning as host–has sometimes fallen behind ABC in lucrative late night competition.  Nevertheless, NBC’s parent company, Comcast, has enjoyed robust profits and ought not need a taxpayer subsidy to move to Connecticut.
