Are you sure you’re not thinking of OLN, now VS?

Jim: On my system they are two separate networks. And we have had The Outdoor Channel for a few years.

I’ve never heard of the Outdoor Channel.
OLN becoming VS was the best thing that channel ever did.

Aaron: Versus is owned by Comcast and is in about 70 million homes. With the name change to Versus, the Outdoor Channel became the main station covering fishing and hunting.
