Quick T.V. Question??
Now that Versus has been bought out or taken over by NBC Sports does that mean a lot less Cycling on T.V. for 2012?

For some reason I was expecting to come in here and see someone has mounted a TV to their handlebars...

Whenever I do sufferfeests outside of my bedroom, I have an iPod mounted to my bars to ride to them. I think it's a really fun challenge on the track.

NBC Sports just had the Tour of Qatar on at 4:30. Granted they were highlights but its better than nothing.

If they can have a golf channel, why can't they have a cycling channel? there is more cycling than golf, if you take into account road, mountain, cross, track, and drunken tall bike jousting...

I'm involved in the TV industry, and am personally trying to help bring more LIVE cycling to TV. However, there is far more advertising $$ in golf than cycling. The recap shows are far cheaper to produce than live, and without the big advertising money, live is a tough sell.
OK, there is one market I haven't gone after. I'll have to look into that. Wondering who the advertisers would be.
