    Note that these ratings are higher than hockey. Suppose that says more
    about hockey than cycling.

    No more Lance so lots of Americans aren't watching any more:

    "Through the first four stages, viewership of OLN's live Tour coverage
    has tumbled 49 percent to 207,544 people. Combined viewership of the
    live show and its daily repeats has plunged by 47 percent to 749,472."

    Does anyone realize that we're talking about rating for a live
    TV show that is occuring during the working hours of most Americans?
    Or does anyone also realize that many people don't get OLN because it
    is a Comcast channel?

    One of the good things OLN does is that they re-braodcast the coverage multiple
    times a day. So even if you are gainfully employed, you can still get your
    TDF fix.

    What about the fishermen and rodeo fans, what do they do when there is
    wall to wall cycling?

    Fish and run with the bulls.

    That's why having the Tour in December would be a lot better. Maybe
    January after the holidays in the U.S.

    Don't forget deer hunting.

    The Tour in December - yeah, that's the ticket - in the Pyrenees, in
    the snow. I haven't ever seen studded bike tires.... LOL.

    Piggy back it on the whole survivalist thing. Bjarne could take his
    training camps to a whole new level.

    According to the OP, the numbers were down all around ... For both the live
    coverage AND the repeats.

    The question is, have rbr posts dropped 49 percent over the same period?
