For the US television sports channel formerly known as "OLN", see Versus.

OLN (Outdoor Life Network) is a Canadian cable television specialty channel. Its programming is focused on outdoor lifestyle, adventure and outdoor sports. Programming includes Caribbean Workout, Survivorman, Pilot Guides, and more. The network is jointly owned by CTVglobemedia (33.34%), Rogers Media (33.33%), and Comcast (33.33%); but managed by CTVglobemedia. Licensed in 1996, OLN launched on October 17, 1997.

Unlike the American version of OLN, the network is not permitted to air major sporting events, such as NHL hockey, per its CRTC license, though it has aired events such as the 2000 European Football Championship, which is played outside, and it does air the Tour de France.

The channel is also listed as a participant in CTVglobemedia's successful bid for the Canadian Olympic broadcast rights, beginning with the 2010 Games in Vancouver.

The network will not be re-branded as Versus, as its American counterpart has done in September 2006. [1]
