Cujo Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Indoor Arena football on Outdoor Life? Good for OLN I suppose, but if it's not the Arena Bowl I'm probably not watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmmm, the OUTDOOR Life Network gets Arena Football and the NHL in the same year. Seems to me as if "OLN" is going to have just about as much meaning as "ECHL". But hey, who am I to complain. I'm all for more hockey and arenaball on TV.

winters in buffalo Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'd much rather watch indoor sports on OLN than certain outdorr sports like, say... bass fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why they are trying to seriously downplay the words and focus on the initials -- OLN. They want the name OLN to be used the way people use ESPN (since very few people ever refer to that network as the "Entertainment and Sports Programming Network").

They want the name OLN to be used the way people use ESPN (since very few people ever refer to that network as the "Entertainment and Sports Programming Network"). true but at least Entertainment and Sports Programming Network is indicative of what they are broadcasting. I think its time for OLN to find a new name. TNN went from a country network to men's programming (Spike TV). Its not like they wouldnt be successful if they changed the name.

Easier said than done.Just because they want me to call it "KFC" doesn't make their chicken any less fried, or any less unhealthy when eaten too often... "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

TNN was "The National Network" in between Nashville and Spike - right around the time TNN had the Arena League. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

kurtman62 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 An outdoor-oriented channel running indoor events? To me, it would be like Lifetime, Television for [some] women showing The Three Stooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
