  1. So during the Tour coverage, we saw and heard plenty about upcoming
    rodeo events, barbecue cook-offs, and 'Survivor' reruns (gag)...
    Would it have killed OLN to have mentioned the Vuelta coverage in
    September? Granted, the coverage is pathetic (one Sunday night for
    a three-week GT), but you'd think people watching the Tour *might*
    be interested...

    If more people watched the Vuelta highlights show, maybe there'd end
    up being enough interest to actually televise the race while it was
    going on...

    Wow glad I'm no longer in the US, they used to show the Vuelta on OLN,
    at least until the end of 2002 ! Now that I'm back in Europe, I get to
    watch the Tour of Germany next week !

    At least they announced they would be offering live coverage of the
    Tour of California next year.

    Did they say *live* coverage, or just coverage? Oh, well, anything's
    got to be better than getting up at 2:00AM for ToC coverage on ESPN...
    And some nights, ESPN couldn't even be bothered to show the coverage
    anytime close to when they had it scheduled.

    I think that www.cycling.tv will show the Veulta live.

  6. well, for real excitement, let's not forget the world darts championships,
    the world dominoes finals, the poker tour, reality this and reality that ...
    i can't believe the stuff they put on TV these days. i've got a dish. i
    get 400 channels. except for OLN when the TDF is on and some old movie
    classics, there's not a damn thing on those 400 channels worth watching.

    I don't see anything their site that would suggest that-- but the Tour
    of Germany will be broadcasted live beginning August 1

    I'm going to guess that was unintentional, right (aka "they didn't start out that
    way!"😉?

    I thought that I heard it on one of their broadcasts. I will email them.
    Every time I have contacted them in the past I have received great customer
    service. I really hope that they make it.
