The 'Lights is a daily morning sports highlights program on NBC Sports Network that launched in August 2012. The Lights is different from ESPN's SportsCenter because it is presented as repeating 20-minute segments in which scores and replays from the previous day's games are shown with David Diamante acting as the unseen anchor. Split-screen coverage includes highlights on one side while the screen's other side shows comments, like interviews or post-game press conferences, pertaining to the highlights. Originally for 2 hours from 7-9 AM., the program has since expanded to 3 hours from 6-9 AM. [1] [1]

The program was placed on hiatus during the Stanley Cup Playoffs and was scheduled to be re-tooled to re-air in late August 2013. However, as yet, the program has not returned to the air.[2]
