Comcast moving some sports channel operations
The cable operator said 100 of the network's roughly 200 out-of-state employees have been offered jobs in Philadelphia. Technical workers will stay at the Versus studios in Stamford.
Versus, which reaches 74 million viewers, is growing and a decision was made to move managers to the company's new corporate headquarters next summer.
Once called the Outdoor Life Network, Versus is a national sports that features National Hockey League games and the Tour de France, among other sports coverage.
Comcast, the nation's largest cable company, separately announced that it's going to air a new one-hour weekly show on Versus called "Sports Unfiltered with Dennis Miller." It will debut Nov. 6.
"I'll call 'em as I see 'em and hopefully I'll see 'em better than the home plate ump in the San Diego Padres-Colorado Rockies tiebreaker game," Miller said in a statement.
Miller had a brief stint on "Monday Night Football" in 2000-01.
