Survivor on OLN

Survivor News

Survivor will be on the Outdoor Life Network starting July 24. OLN has bought the syndication rights to the first ten seasons of Survivor and have an option for the next two seasons. This is the biggest syndication deal in OLN's history (however long that is).

OLN is planning on showing the episodes in chronological order starting with the first season. Episodes will air Monday thru Thursday at 7:00 pm with repeats at 10:00 pm and on the weekends (I guess those times are eastern times).

After the chronological airings are done, OLN is planning on broadcasting "best of" episodes. For example, a set of best twists and best villains (and who knows what else).

Outdoor Life Network is currently in 63 million homes and is owned by Comcast. Check your channel line-up you may already have it. I have regular non-digital Comcast cable and I get it.


Analysis

This should be a good deal for Outdoor Life Network and Survivor fans. The typical OLN viewer probably doesn't watch much regular TV like Survivor, however I think if they catch an episode or two of Survivor they will like it. The Survivor fan gets to watch shows which haven't aired in several years and in many cases aren't available on DVD.

I'll probably catch the repeats here and there, but the times conflict with Alton Brown on Food Network. (He's the host of Good Eats.) I would like to see Survivor Thailand and Survivor Africa again.
