OLN FIS Coverage

All,

I tried responding to Mary's question regarding OLN and FIS coverage several
days ago on the moderated group and have not seen it posted there yet, so,
I'll repeat what I had to say there, here. Here is what I have found:

Must be big money in Bull riding. OLN is really letting me down. Less
bicycle racing coverage this year and now you have to dig like mad to find
the ski racing coverage.

Try this page: http://ww2.olntv.com/htmlpage.asp?htmlid=4

When and if the "Find a Show" page pops up, enter "World Cup" or "USSA" in
the keyword box and "Anytime" in the "Day" box. I see this Saturday as the
1st day that they'll be showing WC coverage. It's been that way for weeks
now. Can't say what will actually happen.

Marty, you rule. Using that search, I find a lot of listings...kind of
weird, because all of them, right up through the end of January, refer
to the Aspen and Beaver Creek races, but I'm sure they just haven't
caught up with their listings.

The odd thing is that, according to both the Ski Racing TV guide
(http://www.skiracing.com/tv_guide/) and Zap2It.com, NBC is going to be
showing the slalom from the Aspen Winternational and the Birds of Prey
DH this weekend. It's possible OLN will be showing the women's GS and
men's SG. It's also a bit odd that there's no reference to who will be
covering the Worlds. I'll tape it all, whatever.

Maybe it's time to look into this TiVo thing...

Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug.

Here's a little more information about OLN's plans for this year (assuming
the link works):

"Bode on the Bus". I love it.

You know, when I first read the "breadth of winter sports" stuff in that
interview, I kind of cringed, imagining two hours of fluff a la the ESPN
coverage of the Hahnenkamm. But stuff like "Bode on the Bus", and
peripheral coverage of some other winter sports for added interest,
could be what gets a lot of people watching ski racing. After all, OLN
has been hugely successful at getting a lot of people watching bicycle
racing. I just hope that their efforts will be rewarded. I know
they're not going to get the Olympics, but is there any chance they'd
get a slice of the Worlds this season?
