OLN Technical Difficulty?

Been tuned in to the internet broadcast of the TDF from
OLN (9AM ET). No Phil Ligget or Paul Sherwin only crowd
noise and the occasional sound of the helicopter. Can
anyone confirm this?

Funny, I just tried it not 5 minutes ago. All I heard was
what you described; no commentary whatsoever.

That's all I hear right now. Hope they fix it...

Dear Kenny,

Sounds like real life. No music, no laugh track, no
commentary, just fellows pedalling bicycles.

It says right there on the OLN page that during commercial
breaks, one will hear only crowd noise, etc.

Both yesterday (7/3) and today the OLN broadcasts started
off with poor sound and picture quality. On both days it
cleared up right around 8:00 AM (PT) so I'm guessing the
problem originated with OLN, particularly since other
channels were coming in OK.

A while back, some of the auto racing TV broadcasters
started using "talk free laps" to let those at home get more
of a feeling of being there.

I wouldn't mind hearing the Le Tour roll through an area
hearing nothing but the bikes and background noise.

And how would you do that? What you would hear is the
motorcycle engine or the helicoptor's rotor. The Tour is not
running in a small confined oval.

Put the mic on the side of the road as the tour passes. I'm
only talking of the pack passing one point, just as a
spectator would hear
it.

Sorry. You are absolutely correct so let's set up a camera
set-up on Mars and hire Daryl Waltrip to shout "boogity-boogity-
boogity" during the stage starts! 🙂

The riders will be disappointed to find out that the breaks
between stages are only 12-15 seconds though...

Dear Mark,

We don't even have to go galactic for wooden ovals in France
if we use a little imagination:

. . . can this cockpit hold The vasty fields of France? or
may we cram Within this wooden O the very casques That
did affright the air at Agincourt?

There's even a current thread about the odd new aero-casques
affrighting the air not all that far from Agincourt.
