Tarantula is absolutely right- OLN has finally brought cycling coverage to TV, and we can onlky hpoe that it will improve as the audience grows.
And yes, sports coverage here in canada really does suck. Every time we get a new sports network, they show endless crap- darts, curling and other stupid stuff like speedboat racing. However, one thing we have over the americnas is Olympic coverage. The olympics are only every two years but I wouldn't trade our coverage for the horror movie that NBC has made of the Olympics. When all the americans were cursing NBC, we had three networks showing Olympic coverage- CBC, Radio-canada and TSN (who broadcast the longer events such as curling and some of the hockey games).
ANyways, in terms of cycling coverage, we have a long way to go but it's still great that OLN is doing this. Now I'm hoping that during the Upcoming Commonwealth games, the CBC will show the track, road and MTB events.
