Lol that was the first thing that came to my mind when I first heard it pronounced nitch, anyway I pronounce it neesh and I'm British so it probably is a British/American thing.

I don't understand where the T comes from in nitch? and why the E is dropped from the end.
But it will only be Americans (or american TV watchers) that say nitch because that is where that pronunciation originated, everyone else references the french origin.

It is of course a french word, and would be pronounced neesh in france
But as with all words taken from languages and adopted into another, they often get changed from local and national dialects and accents
and of course language/alphabet constraints can change words

Nitch.
I wonder if Americans are the ones who say nitch, and the rest of the English world say neesh?
