OLN even asks whether pay per view is of interest. I can't believe it.

If pay per view came with no commercials and at a price that's competitive
with the packages offered by WCP, I'd consider it.

This is like voting, a must for rbr. It's a sin not to fill out the form.
Shame, shame if you are too lazy to do it!

Then I found out that there were no good answers to a lot of the questions.
Just like this election.
Not too lazy, just too disgusted, and OLN isn't going to be covering cycling
long anyway unless Discovery buys them out.

Man, I just cringe when I think of Discov. Channel covering the TdF, but
that makes sense since they're the sponsor. Maybe they'll do a highlights
and contract out. The OLN footage comes to them from several sources,
though the OLN net has equipment oer there.

At least with OLN, you had three repeats each day, morning noon and night,
and long no commercial stretches and short commercials.

What makes you think it not cover cycling anymore? The TDF route is coming
up on Saturday at 5:30 EDT OLN.

boo, hiss. TDC butchers the TdF coverage...film at 11...or not...

Primarily the way they started to cut back coverage already, and now Lance is
going to Discovery. I think that they will de-emphasize it at least, then phase
it out. Lot's more bass fishermen, and people wanbting to see the train wreck
with Bull Riders.

I get my 30 second of bike racing every few weeks on Gillette World
Sport and that is good enough for me thank you very much.

Have you seen this Mythbusters show on Discovery Channel? It's
hilarious. I'd love to see them do it with cycling.

Actually it was tailor made for Womens events and riders. No brainer.
Favorite events, Grande Boucle, Womens Giro, Worlds, and for domestic
events, Tour De Toona and Philly, Gila and SFGP would be an option. Favorite
riders, LZ, Faby, Joanne, Armstrong, Dede, etc, quite a few others and of
course Brandli, speaking of which get a load of this from Verona?

I would have preferred less repeats in exchange for Vuelta coverage.
It was a bait and switch deal. Pretty low.

Actually, I wish they'd have repeats *now.* I was there during the last half
of the TDF, and wasn't able to get it taped ( know, tough job, but
somebody's got to do it!). Guess I'll have to check out the 12-hour WCP DVD,
but I'd really like to have the real thing.

I can't believe you can't believe it. You don't like to watch bike racing?

To receive OLN, I pay 67$ a month to my cable co. And they want pay
perview on top?

Badger- Thanks, but as Diablo Scott pointed out, OLN is going to be showing
them again November 24-25th. Just got to have my computer set up properly to
record them, *and* keep the kids away from the receiver!
