OLN, nee Versus, moved to basic cable nationwide last fall as part of its
deal to broadcast the National Hockey Association. There's no way the NHL
will allow Comcast to bump the NHL to a more-expensive package with even
LESS viewers. It would be death for the NHL's already small advertising
revenue.
Unless they figure the NHL is a lost cause anyway.

I dont know if youll 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 isnt possible
with the larger cable packages only basic cable has enough penetration.
So maybe it will go away, but maybe it wont. 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!
