did I miss something - sbs tour coverage?

[Rayc]

Did I miss something? Praises for SBS with the live coverage of the
TdF, but what is it with the break in coverage to show the bloody
cricket? Isnt there enough on the TV? Cycling fans stay up late to see
the daily coverage, not the cricket. SBS - What the? Its only only on
for less than four weeks of the year, not all summer.

The SBS number for 'feedback' is Toll Free Phone 1800 500 727.

They advertised they the tour coverage tonight was from 11.10 to 12.30.
So far I reckon I might have been lucky to see about 30mins, and theres
only 15 mins left till the end of scheduled broadcast. Very ******.
At least the others (7,9 and 10 ) have broken their schedules for
something worth reporting. ( Sad news, as it may be)

I was watching with boys who love cricket. It was a disturbing
experience for me. They would be all excited, Le Tour! and then Oh NO!
It's Gone! and then Yay! The Test! and then Oh NO! It's Gone! etc... I
don't understand boys. I prefer bikes.

I knew it, I just b$%^&%$y knew it! I knew fuggin cricket would interrupt
the tour!!
In the first 1 hour & 10 minutes of supposed TDF coverage there was a whole
20 minutes of actual cycling!!!! (In WA at least) And the remaining 50
minutes? Well I think we all know the answer to that one!!
Send your complaints to SBS!!!

Cricket bowls up big ratings for SBS.

SBS drew four times its usual viewing figures last night as sports fans
were absorbed by a remarkable bowling display in the first Ashes Test.
