The 'Lights was a daily morning sports highlights program on NBC Sports Network that launched in August 2012. Designed as an alternative to ESPN's SportsCenter , unseen anchor David Diamante narrated the previous day's games and highlights in a half-hour loop. An on-screen sidebar provided information, stats, and comments relevant to the game being highlighted.
Its time-slot expanded from 7-9 AM to 6-9 AM Eastern Time during its short run.[1] [2]
The program was placed on hiatus during the Stanley Cup Playoffs and was scheduled to be re-tooled to re-air in late August 2013. It later was removed from the schedule entirely.[3] Its replacement was a loop of fitness programming under NBCUniversal's digital Radius brand, which aired six times in three hours.
