USA Network

USA Network (stylized as usa) is an American basic cable television channel owned by the NBCUniversal division of Comcast. It was launched on September 22, 1977 as Madison Square Garden Sports Network, one of the first national sports cable television channels. It was relaunched under its current name on April 9, 1980, and in the years since then, USA steadily gained popularity through its original programming, a long-established partnership with WWF/WWE and, for many years, limited sports programming. USA increased its sports coverage significantly in 2022, after the shutdown of NBCSN, and now serves as the main cable component of NBC Sports. As of November 2023, USA Network is available to approximately 70 million pay television households in the United States, down from its 2011 peak of 100 million households.
