You're seeing Universal Sports (http://universalsports.tv/Home_Page.html)
(formerly WCSN). It was on the air before the Olympics - I saw it in Albany,
NY (oddly enough, as a sub-channel of the local CBS affiliate).

Subject: [opendtv] A New NBC Network?
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere - and I went looking for it, but it
looks like NBC San Diego (operated by, but not completely owned by NBC) seems
to have a new network.
After the Olympics, the station aired Olympic highlights on 39-3, NBC Weather
Plus on 39-2 (the future of that service is interesting, considering the recent
purchase of the Weather Channel) and KNSB-TV fare (including the NBC Television
network) on 39-1 and 39-0 (analog.)
I noticed that Cox Communications San Diego wasn't carrying -3. So, this
afternoon, while surfing through the Cox Communications offerings, I saw a new
NBC service. On 39-3, they are showing a network that seems to be called NBC
US. (There's a peacock in the upper-right portion of the screen, next to a US,
both in a circle.)
The content when I tuned in seemed to be a non-hyped reality show about an
ocean race, perhaps even the infamous Sydney to Hobart race.
I went to the NBCSanDiego web site, and the NBC.com web site, and searched
through Google. I found no reference to this network. You might be reading of
it first here.
