Oln online tv page has the programing from 3-4:30 today, but I thought it was posted to have coverage this am. Oln doesnt have much in regards to this race? I need my brother to tape the racing, I dont have time to pay for cable tv. So if its on right now, just kick me!

I thought so too! The sad part is that OLN is weak in coverage, and they are all we've got! :rolleyes:

What, you don't consider watching someone fish as exciting as the initial stage of a Grand Tour? Uggggh, you are right - we as cyclists need to put some heat on OLN. I pay for digital cable in addition to my satelite JUST FOR OLN - the rest of the channels are redundant.

I'm beginning to think that the $50+/month is not worth it. :mad:

Cable here in Madison, Wi is up near 60 bucks, thats not even digital. With what Ive been seeing listed on OLN, Im satisfied with the standard plan of 15 bucks a month - which gives me one ESPN - the locals and 5-6 crap home shopping channels - what a joke those are!
