Recasting its cable sports networks under the NBC name, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia and the other Comcast-owned regional sports network are rebranding themselves on Monday — in time for the National Hockey League and National Basketball Association seasons.

CSN Philly is now NBC Sports Philadelphia, and TCN will be NBC Sports Philadelphia+.

For Philadelphia fans, there will be no changes in content or TV channels, says the South Philadelphia network that airs the Flyers, Sixers and Phillies.

Other 24-hour Comcast-owned regional sports networks, in Chicago, Boston and Washington, are being similarly renamed. Comcast acquired NBCUniversal, which included the NBC broadcast-TV network, in 2011 and has consolidated its various sports networks under NBC over the last several years.
