I think I just heard that the TT is on later tonight on NBC.

NBC website says it was supposed to be covered in the 9:00 to 10:00 pm
(eastern US) hour. It's 9:51 at this writing and they haven't covered it
yet.

Well it was just on. If you thought the men's road race coverage was
bad, this was terrible. -Maybe- 5 minutes spent on the men's TT, with
focus only on the people who won medals.

Oh well, supposedly more coverage on MSNBC, I believe. Whatever that
means. I don't have cable, so it doesn't make a difference.

Of course, the US in general doesn't have much interest in cycling, so
the amount of coverage wasn't really that surprising.

same thing happened on CBC. They were supposed to show BOTH tt and not one
minute's worth. French CBC had some. I think the event got maybe 5 minutes
combined on all the networks. Excuse me but THIS BLOWS!

It's a good thing I looked up from typing this last post 'cuz there was the
coverage. It's also a good thing I didn't blink or sneeze. Just after they
finished, they covered a semi-final heat of Michael Phelps swimming the 200
IM. THAT lasted longer than the entire coverage of the men's TT. And it
was a SEMI-FINAL HEAT! Ridiculous!

Interesting, though, watching Tyler perform a radioectomy in the middle of
his TT run.

CBC English Network showed a few minutes of the Women on the evening taped
``repeat''. I didn't notice the men yet and it's 22:40hrs here now - only 20
minutes left before the news.

You don't say where you live, so how can we answer that? Over here it
was, in full.
