The people that run Universal decided to change the type of cable channel that they were, which resulted in them being dropped from many cable systems. I think they expected viewers to call their cable companies and demand that Universal be added back into their channel lineup, and ultimately Universal would make more money as a result. I had the impression that Universal was not actually owned by Comcast/NBC.
I assume NBC did not cover La Course on any of their other channels because they were already struggling to cover all the events that they were contracted to cover yesterday (they've had to show F1 races and qualy on CNBC in order to show them live during the TdF, and did not show Friday practice live like they usually do), and they figured that a woman's bike race would not give them higher ratings/more revenue than the shows that are typically on the other non-sports channels that they own.
