Yes, thumbs up _that_ they do it... as for _how_ they do it, if we could get the guys to kick a soccer ball along the way we'd get live coverge of all of the grand tours and spring classics, and hosts that actually knew stuff about the riders. (yeah yeah, be thankful they cover it at all, yeah yeah - don't worry, I'll be up with the rest of you, glued to the telly for every second of coverage) |

Didn't someone here a while back say you can get the thing live on (free) New Caledonian satellite (in French of course)? Why can't SBS just re-broadcast that? Cost I guess... I've got a dish and receiver card left over from an old sattelite-internet install. Supposedly these things can be pointed at Free To Air satellites and suck down an MPEG stream. There's a couple of Linux HOWTOs on it. Ah if I only had the time... Do you know the proper name of the satellite in question ? Guess I should google for it. -kt |

[QUOTE/] [B/]Either me or my VCR will be up to catch all the action as
it's telecasted (Why aren't I part of the ratings sample group??). I was a couple of years ago, when they still had the little beige set- top boxes you had to push buttons on. I religiously watched all the 6pm wrap-ups, but they didn't have the live stages then. I think I remember that SBS increased its ratings by about 1.5% or so for that 1/2 hr. I suppose that this will probably grow, as the coverage gets better, and as there are more (wannabe) roadies out there. Now if we can just get the local bike clubs to capitalise on the publicity. Most of them have difficulty organising a sausage sizzle at the end of the weekly club race. Kudos to those who do, tho'. -- |

About 15 years ago a woman from one of thje ratings agency called round and asked me to keep a radio diary. They collected it and that was the first and only time it has happened to me.
