My Tivo said Tour de Nez on OLN but it turned out to be an episode of "Fearless" about a female triathlete instead.

hmmm, I don't know what happened, but it really is on Wednesday the 19th of October at 3pm EST.
By the way, a lot of people tell you their friend/relative raced in the Tour de France. They are not always honest. The Tour de Nez actually happened, I promise.

Appears to me that OLN is scheduling cycling but changing or canceling the showing in the last couple months. Hopefully they'll go ahead with the TdNez on the 19th - it's a nice race if you go by last year's coverage.

My OLN listings show that "Fearless" which is on right afer Tour de Nez(4-5pm) is supposed to be about Greg Lemond. Last week someone posted a listing for Tour de Nez, and I watched it and it was the triathlete show instead. It would be nice to have a Tour de Nez/Greg Lemond double header. Keep your fingers crossed!

Same here.
We've had trouble with the Tivo/DirecTV listings before - it would list TdF stage coverage as being shorter than it was, so it would record all the coverage _except_ the final uphill to the finish, the final sprint, etc. Major bummer when you're watching it. I complained to DirecTV who said to complain to OLN, so I complained to OLN and it seems better than it was a few years ago but it still isn't always right. I guess the number of people using Tivo and similar hasn't reached critical mass yet.
There were brothel preems in previous editions of the race, but not this year. Too many complaints, from wives and girlfriends, go figure.
So, I'm not afraid of critisim, did you think the commentary was sub par?
Not at all. I thought is was great! And the camera work during the Reno crit was nice too. I imagine it's difficult to stitch together shots from multiple cameras around the course and have it look reasonable, but your coverage did that well. Maybe next year you could also do a show for Nevada City?
