USA Network (simply USA) is an American basic cable television channel owned by the NBCUniversal Media Group division of Comcast's NBCUniversal. It was originally launched in 1977 as Madison Square Garden Sports Network, one of the first national sports cable television channels, before being relaunched under its current name on April 9, 1980. Since then, USA steadily gained popularity through its original programming, a long-established partnership with WWF/WWE and, for many years, limited sports programming that increased significantly in 2022 after the shutdown of NBCSN.
As of September 2018,[update][needs update] USA Network was commercially available to about 90.4 million households (98% of households with pay television) in the US.[1] By June 2023, this number has dropped to 72.4 million households.[2]
