We have basic and don't get OLN any longer. When we had the full package
OLN was on 401 or 402, something like that. Then it moved to 32 for a
while. We downgraded to basic to wheen the kids off the cartoon network
and was excited when we still had OLN/Versus on Channel 32. A few month
back it disappeared from 32 (maybe when you did your poll). I don't
believe it is part of the basic package any longer.

Do others get OLN/Versus as part of their basic? I would sure like to
know if I am just missing it.

I don't know if you'll loose it for sure.

I wanted to watch the Tour de France last summer, but I did not have
cable. I called Comcast and asked if OLN (now Versus) was included in
the basic cable package. They said it was NOT. Same thing was on
their website.

I then polled this email list and I believe 20 out of 20 confirmed they
did have OLN with basic cable.

Further, I read somewhere that part of the NHL television rights require
broadcast to hit a certain number of homes, which apparently isn't
possible with the larger cable packages - only basic cable has enough
penetration.

So maybe it will go away, but maybe it won't. At least you can still
watch Mythbusters ;)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just got my Comcast bill with
the products & services price list effective 3/7/07. RATS! Although they
are lowering the bare bones basic service fee by 25 cents to a mere
$8.15, they have eliminated Versus (OLN) and the Golf Channel. Now one
needs at least "Standard Cable" at $50.89/month to get those channels.
Come July, I'm going to miss all my favorite bull riding and BBQ
competitions. Say it ain't so!
