Topic: Is OLN the worst sports channel ever?

Exhibit A: http://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/ny-spzip234394749aug23,0,7220593.column?coll=ny-sports-columnists

Exhibit B: production quality reminiscent of 1980's Czechoslovakian State Television.

Exhibit C: only two games a week on Mondays and Tuesdays? WTF?

Discuss.

When they had their deals with Fox and ESPN they didn't really have more than two games per week. Did you expect more from OLN?

OLN is trying to find an identity.
They make their jack on being low budget.
I watch them for TdF coverage and other cycling events, but generally watching "Eastern Montana Outdoors" does not hold my interest.

Evidently Dish Network is pretty upset with them as well:

Cycling/Triathlons are the only things I watch on OLN.
