This is great news for Stamford and CT. They are moving into the old Clairol plant and will be bringing at least 400 jobs initially. Hopefully they can really grow as a network and prosper along the lines of rival ESPN in Bristol. This really makes CT a huge player in sports broadcasting with ESPN, WWE, YES, and now NBC Sports. This is definitely pretty significant and could play a huge role in solidifying our place as a hub for the entertainment industry.

I have been hearing rumors about this for a few days. It looks like it's a done deal. Hopefully it will be a big positive.
