General Cycling Discussion - Whats up with OLN? No more biking!

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
For the last 3 weeks, there has been nothing on OLN for biking, road or mountain. Nothing is listed this week for anything except boating and fishing? Is OLN seasonal on the biking or is it gone?

I just checked the guide,theres a rodeo on right now and thats kind of like mountainbiking.Try to do something crazy and not come out of it with something broken.And rodeo clowns are cool!:D
I noticed that, too, but I think the season is over. They were playing it up earlier in the summer about how thursday nights would be all bike. They were for awhile. Then they started running re-runs of everything bike they could dig up. Now they are re-running the boat race.

It is seasonal. Notice how 90% of the winter stuff goes away in the summer? Summer stuff goes away in the winter. Makes sense to me :)
Also notice the xgames they are showing is now winter X instead of summer x.
So.....boating and summer fishing are seasonal for this time of year? Thats whats playing this winter on OLN.

I noticed this last year. At some point they switched to a Thursday skiing lineup. Cycling picks up again usually late Feb/early March with shows on the Tour de Langkawi, some Tour Down Under and Tour of Qatar.
Even their programming is screwed up, or Comcast somehow got the wrong information(??).
A few times in the past couple of weeks Comcast's program guide showed a biking show at 8pm on Thursday, but what was on?
yachting :mad:
You could send a PM to one our members olntv (http://www.bikeforums.net/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=2070) and ask about the programming, or go to OLN (http://www.olntv.com) and send an email to someone at the network.

Seasonal
Judging from the web site, they show world cup skiing. If you watch that you'll see lots of places which have been stages on the grand tours- Alta Badia, Cortina, etc. Except now people are skiing down the sides!

No but they are very year round actually. Especially fishing :)...
Boating show constantly...just about as exciting as golf. :)

I miss the cycling coverage. Bull riding? I hate that crap. Why don't we just strap these guys to the back of a car, drive around in circles and i'll run behind and beat them with a bat - it would be more fun to watch.
