Everything about Oln totally explained

OLN (Outdoor Life Network) is a Canadian English language cable television specialty channel. Its programming is focused on outdoor lifestyle, adventure, exploration and outdoor sports. The network is jointly owned by CTVglobemedia, Rogers Media, and Comcast.

Programming

Unlike the former American version of OLN which is now called Versus, OLN in Canada isn't permitted to air major sporting events, such as National Hockey League, per its Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) licence, though it has aired events such as the 2000 European Football Championship and the annual Tour de France, which both take place outside.
   The channel is also listed as a participant in CTVglobemedia's successful bid for the Canadian Olympic broadcast rights, beginning with the 2010 Games in Vancouver.

    History

    Licensed in September 1996 as Outdoor Life by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the channel launched on October 17, 1997 as Outdoor Life Network.
       It was announced on November 16, 2007, that Rogers will acquire the remaining interests in OLN from both CTVgm and Comcast, leaving Rogers as the sole owner of OLN. The deal is expected to close in 2008 and is subject to CRTC approval.
