Saturday Morning had a late start, so I taped some old analysis of some thing, then caught most of the prologue, somewhere on my 4 hours of taping. To answer your question though, I have no idea how they are scheduling it. Allegedly live around 7:00 a.m. mountain (live) with two repeat broadcasts in the evening?

Then again, I may have about 2 hours of Hunting with Hank taped......

Oscar,
As someone said, the live broadcast was delayed by 2 hours Saturday, but other broadcasts as scheduled, I guess.
I taped Sunday, 5/20, live at the scheduled time of 9:30 AM Eastern (US). Tape of the live program aired at 3:00 PM Eastern. I did not check at 9:00 PM Eastern. I set the VCR to tape this morning. Hope I got it.
I believe the daily schedule is live at 9:30 AM, taped replay at 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM all Eastern US time. For Ranger and Fubar5 that's 0930, 1500, and 2100.
Velonews has the most complete TV listings at
https://www.velonews.com/calendar/tv.php
Now, their listing show live coverage from 2:30 AM to 11:00 AM today and 1:30 AM to 11:00 AM tomorrow. Is that right? I may have to get another VCR to tape all that!
Regards,
Raymond

I've never seen so many riders go down in one stage. The rain was causing havoc.

yes, Rainman, I was up the whole night last night from 9;00 P.m. to 2:00 a.m. Still I was not able to get the Giro, I live in Toronto, and we have the Eastern Standard Time, I am a little frantic because of the Tour de France. I may not get it.....

Pare,

OLN usually airs the Giro at around 12 am eastern time...I'm here at Virginia and I get to watch it every midnight.

Kung pareho timezones natin...you should get to see it at midnight.

Kawawa yung Mexicano kanina...he broke his chain and lost the lead near the Ultimo Kilometro mark!

Oscar, do you have OLN and are not able to view it? I have it every night at 8 PM Central.

My piece of c__p VCR just went out. I taped Sunday OK. But not any more. It has been acting up for a while. I am sick of Sony c__p. I have pretty much all Sony - amp, tape deck, CD, VCR, and except for the amp have had nothing but problems. The kind of problems that I purposely bought Sony to avoid. I won't buy any more. From now on I will buy $60 VCRs and throw them away after two years if necessary. OK, got that out of my system.

Regards,
Raymond
