Are any stations in the us showing the tour?

Not sure if you're serious, but yes, OLN is devoting the
entire month of July to the TDF.

Outdoor Life Network OLN

It's about the only one too... at least in the USA.

No Lawsuit Ever Fixed A Moron...

Has anyone else noticed the sound level is very low on
OLN...or is it just my cable operator? All the other
channels are fine, but with OLN I have to really crank the
volume to hear it...then when I forget and switch to
another channel the volume is booming. Just wondering if
it's a global thing or just my cable system...if it's just
mine, I'll have to call them on Tuesday to try to get them
to fix it.

Yep, it's the Lance network until the end of the tour. I'm
sensing burnout on the way...how many times can I hear
that masculine voice utter "IT'S THE CYCLISM!!!!" LOL

former racer whose wife & kids just left for vacation to the
east coast for july. he doesn't know it yet but i'm moving

Haven't noticed it (just watched today's Prologue replay --
without knowing results! -- if any indication of things to
come, this thing could be REALLY exciting). Is OLN *always*
low on volume for you?

I notice that TNT is loud for some reason; always have to
turn others up after. (Go figure 🙂 )

Volume seems normal, comcast digital cable

Several channels on DirecTV have their volume quite a bit
lower than others. And of course the advertisements are
usually kept at the peak volume that a show would only use
for explosions or gunshots. Been my dad's complaint for
several years.

It is a little overdone this time around, isn't it. I think
cyclism is an unfortunate naming for the tour. A) because
the tour doesn't need an annual nickname. B) because even
though I know they were melding cataclysm with cycling or
something like that it just sounds dumb.

Agreed...and even though I like Lance and hope he gets
number 6, I'm getting real sick of seeing him in EVERY
commercial OLN airs.

Does anybody know if CBS is doing the one hour summaries of the past week every Saturday (in the US)? I know they did it the past two years, but, after looking in the TV Guide, I couldn't find it. I think it was called "Wide World of Sports (featuring TdF)." Instead, the schedule had a movie or PGA Golf, neither of which I care much about.

Correction: It might be ABC. But the question remains, does anybody happen to know if either are doing a weekly summary, or is just OLN (which I don't have the luxury of having)?
