Chamblee Gives Us One Final Tour Of Golf Channel's Orlando Home

I’ve yet to see any plans announced by Golf Channel parent company Comcast or NBC Sports to send off the Orlando campus in style—or even acknowledge the end. So we’ll have to rely on this somber-but-respectful iPhone tour from Brandel Chamblee who shows off the many incredible elements headed for the trash bin of corporate consolidation history.

As someone who was an occasional guest there, it was hard to watch knowing how several hundred great folks won’t be returning to tell stories about the game they love. (Not to mention the effect this will have on what’s left of the “product” beyond reruns of tournament rounds.)

Founded 25 years ago, the operation has been geographically downscaled by Comcast and is moving to Stamford, Connecticut where original programming, features and other staples of the channel will not making the journey to that golfing mecca home of NBC Sports.

The studios Chamblee takes us through include one named for co-founder Arnold Palmer, who christened the new home of Morning Drive just seven years ago.

Thanks for this Brandel:
