No Excuses For Missing The Prologue

The complete -- and I mean COMPLETE -- OLN-TV live and replay schedule of the Tour de France is posted on their site, and it almost (but not quite) makes TiVo superfluous.

I won't be home from my Cape Cod/Amherst trip until sometime Saturday, but OLN wants to be sure I do not miss one single dulcet tone from Phil, Paul and Bob.

Just check out my options for Saturday's Prologue in Strasbourg:
-- 8:30-11:30 a.m.: LIVE Tour de France Special
-- 11:30-1:30 p.m.: LIVE Coverage
-- 2:30-4:30 p.m.: Race Action Replay
-- 5-7 p.m.: Race Action Replay
-- 8-10 p.m.: Race Action Replay
-- Midnight-2 a.m.: Race Action Replay

That's five -- count 'em, five! -- hours of live coverage and four two-hour replays. (The outstanding AP style editing, by the way, is mine. Somebody really ought to teach online web editors at places like OLN how to use AP style like REAL journalists. Yeah: I'm volunteering!)
