As Olympic Channel In June 2017, NBCUniversal announced that Universal HD would be shut down on July 14, 2017, and be replaced by with the American Olympic Channel. Universal HD one of four NBCU pay - TV networks to cease operations in 2017, along with Chiller, Cloo, and Esquire Network. These discontinuations came in response to changing market conditions in the U.S. television industry, including the growth of `` skinny '' over-the - top linear television services delivered over the internet ( such as DirecTV Now and Sling TV ), and an overall decline in `` niche '' channels that originate little to no original programming. The U.S. version of Olympic Channel is a franchise of the IOC 's Olympic Channel network operated in conjunction with NBC Sports and the United States Olympic Committee. The channel carries coverage of competitions in Olympic sports that take place outside of the Olympic Games ( such as world championships ), and other programming focusing on Olympic athletes. It draws from programming commissioned for the international version of Olympic Channel, original programming produced by the USOC, and the archives of NBC. Olympic Channel was formally launched on the morning of July 15, 2017 ; its launch weekend programming included coverage of events in the 2017 World Aquatics Championships, the 2017 FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix, the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships and the 2017 IAAF Diamond League. Besides Xfinity, providers who carried the channel at launch included Altice, AT&T U-verse, DirecTV, Dish Network, Spectrum, and Verizon Fios, along with Hulu 's live TV service ; NBC stated that it would be available in 35 million households at launch. The network carried news and highlights during the 2018 Winter Olympics ( with full event coverage delegated to other NBCUniversal networks ), including the Jimmy Roberts - hosted studio program Winter Olympics Daily, the daily medals ceremony, and the Olympic Broadcasting Services ( OBS ) produduction Olympic Channel News. The network participated in NBCSN 's event coverage of the 2018 Winter Paralympics. Past programming Most of the programs broadcast by Universal HD were first aired by one of NBCUniversal 's pay - TV networks, including Bravo, USA Network, Syfy and Chiller before their HD simulcast networks were launched. In its early years, it carried sports coverage from USA in the HD format, including its rights to The Masters, tennis 's US Open, and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Early in the high - definition era it also acquired rights to short - run early - to - mid 2000s network series such as CBS 's Clubhouse and UPN 's Sex, Love & Secrets to fill out its schedule. In July 2007, the network announced a partnership with then - sister network Sundance Channel to carry a weekly block of their content from August 1 through December 26, 2007, which was sponsored by Microsoft. It also, as part of a consortium of other NBCUniversal networks and Sundance Channel, broadcast the entirety of the 2007 Live Earth concerts in high definition. In November 2015, Universal Sports, a sports channel owned by InterMedia Partners with a minority stake held by NBC, ceased operations. NBC Sports acquired the rights to the content that was previously held by the channel, which consisted primarily of competitions in Olympic sports, and dispersed across Universal HD, NBCSN, and NBC Sports Live Extra. It also carried tape - delayed repeats of WWE 's weekly series, including Raw and SmackDown, which aired back - to - back on Saturday evenings.
