I believe Comcast needed OLN to be on the basic cable package because
they broadcast NHL games, and it was the only way to get the viewer
numbers required by NHL. Not sure if it was true.

I also inquired about getting versus again, and all it will take is a
new digital plan that is over $40 more per month. For TV? Ish.
