Excerpt: Versus is a sports-oriented cable television channel in the United States. It is owned by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. It was previously known as Outdoor Life Network (OLN), the name was licensed from Outdoor Life magazine. The name was changed on September 25, 2006. The channel was launched in July 1995 and at the time focused almost exclusively on fishing, hunting, and other related outdoor sports. The OLN brand was retained in Canada, and that channel continues to air some Versus programming but has kept its focus on outdoor sports and lifestyle programs to meet their CRTC licensing requirements, which do not allow it to air major sporting events, such as National Hockey League. In April 2011, it was announced Versus would be changing its name within 90 days to a name including "NBC" to reflect the NBC/Comcast merger. The channel started airing (as the Outdoor Life Network (OLN)) on July 1st, 1995, and for the first near-decade of the channel's existence, focused on hunting and fishing shows. In 2004, OLN capitalized on the popularity of Lance Armstrong during the Tour de France, showing virtually nothing but Tour-related coverage for over three weeks, including additional Tour-related reality programming focusing on Armstrong and his fans. In July 2005, OLN revamped its image, focusing on more extreme outdoor sporting events. In conjunction with the revamp, OLN's logo and American website were completely redesigned as well. As part of the revamp, OLN acquired the rights from NBC Universal of the X Games-type Gravity Games as well as the rebroadcast rights to the CBS reality series Survivor, and began airing the series from the beginning of season one on July 24, 2005. In August 2005, OLN acquired the cable television rights to air the National Hockey League. The NHL's deal with OLN parent Comcast also gave company part ownership of a U.S. version of NHL Network, and distribution on all of its cable systems. Early in 2006, OLN broadcast some games durin
