Last night OLN scheduled an hour recap of this year's TDF. I set the Tivo to record the show. When I got home last night I found the show wasn't recorded. Further, the re-broadcast show wasn't on either.

Did anyone have the same experience?

I was wondering if my Tivo got a bug or if they pulled the show due to the current doping scandal.

Mayo, It wasn't on here in Colorado, either. I don't know what's up. I couldn't find anything on the net either. I must say your signature RULES, too.

I'm guessing the Flandis mess has scared them off making any definitive reports about the outcome of the Tour.
Can't say I blame them.

It disappeared from my TIVO menu on Saturday. I assume the pulled it due to the Flandis thing.

there was another thread here that said OLN had pulled the highlight show, given the uncertainty that exists:

Who'd want to watch it at this point. What a waste of time--it's turned into a skinny version of WWE--which part is real--stage 1, 12, 16, 19, 20??? Next year I'll ride when I get home from work--***** dopers like in baseball. Tour de Fake.

I setup to record the recap and it recorded an 8-ball tourney instead.
