Anyone know who this 'other network' is? I couldn't find it (just to compare

with the primo OLN coverage).



Last year OLN could not broadcast their two plus hour live footage recap

until the evening so ABC's wide world of sports could devote an stunning 60

minutes of coverage to the entire previous week's 6 stages PLUS that day's

race. I think they even showed the finish of one stage saying how fast it

looked. However, I cannot find who even is doing this 'other coverage' this

year. It was not listed in any schedule I saw, and I even went to the local

network affiliates website.

Just a little heads up for anyone planning to get up early on Sunday for

the big L'Alpe d'Huez Stage. OLN will NOT be showing live coverage of

the stage. Some other network bought the broadcast rights to the stage

so OLN cannot broadcast it. It is a huge bummer but better to know than

rise at 6:00 on Sunday and have it not be there.
