So, are you after the NBC Sports Network among others that are counted as must-haves by American sports fans? And, are you inclined to subscribe to a DIRECTV Packages for your family? Well, we’d recommend you think about purchasing the DIRECTV CHOICE™ or a higher tier plan, because DIRECTV ENTERTAINMENT—while it gives you a number of popular sports networks—does not include NBCSN.
Owned by the NBC Sports Group division of NBC Universal, NBCSN was launched as Outdoor Life Network (OLN) on July 1, 1995. Around the turn of the century, it came to carry a good repute for showcasing the Tour de France, and gradually began to move towards more mainstream sports instead of focusing on outdoor adventure programs and sports. And, in 2006 OLN was rechristened as Versus. But, only 5 years later, when Comcast acquired a majority stake in NBCUniversal, the sports channels under Comcast were aligned with the NBC Sports Network—the new name of Versus.
NBCSN was to be positioned as a “full-service sports network” that would focus on coverage of sporting events, talk shows, sports news, and original programming. Expansion of broadcast relations helped the network acquire new rights to airing more sporting events—with Major League Soccer and College Hockey finding a spot on NBCSN.
Fast forward to 2020, the NBC Sports Network was estimated to be available to nearly 80 million pay-tv households across the US. And DIRECTV is one of its major carriers.
