NBC SportsTalk is a daily sports talk show on NBCSN named after the various talk sites on the NBCSports.com. The show is the flagship show for the network since the name change to NBC Sports Network on January 2. The show launched on September 8, 2011
NBC SportsTalk launched before the NFL kickoff special in 2011. The show competes directly with the 6 p.m. edition of ESPN's SportsCenter. Russ Thaler has anchored every edition of the show since its premiere. Repeats can be seen later at night after the channel's coverage of hockey or other sports.
The show asks for input from viewers via Twitter and launched its own app for the iOS and Android operating system. Russ Thaler will usually read 1−2 tweets right before the end of each broadcast.
From January 30 − February 3, 2012 the show aired live episodes from Indianapolis, the site of Super Bowl XLVI.
On May 18, Erik Kuselias became the primary host of NBC SportsTalk.
