I haven't the faintest idea what coverage we're going to get, as British Eurosport Viewer, we already have digital. We get the short en of the straw at weekends with coverage as other sports like motorcyclin get the bulk of airtime because of the revenue they bring in. (They eve show hours of practices as well as races) This was highlighted at Paris Roubaix last year, International had 5 hours coverage, and all BE ha was from part of the Arenberg Forest to Roubaix. We saw the last 2k o the Tour of Flanders. Then we get days missing completely, the Tour o Switzerland BE broadcast none of the Saturday mountain stage. The Vuelt on the last Saturday the Mountain Time trial, we got nothing. This wa made even worse because it coincided with the Cycle Show in London an Eurosport have a stand there and we were promised live coverage in th programme. They showed gymastics, you know the ones with floatin ribbons. Then the last one was the World Championship road race, in th middle we had the Womens world cup final and it went into extra time Many regret getting rid of the analogue systems which receiv Eurosport International. I didn't have one, as I had On-Digital the ITV Digital and now have Sky which gives us BE, but from the start o this European cycling season I now have an analogue system courtesy o my niece and partner The other thing that digital Eurosport has is a 24hour news channel and I've yet to find anyone who sits and watches it. It would be muc better broadcasting Eurosport International on it. I pay enoug subscription to Sky now but I'd be willing to pay more just to ge decent coverage of cycling - |

Some 100+ channels have been identified as 'potentials' in a few places, and Eurosport is one of them, but nothing concrete until it gets closer to the time when Foxtel will start to roll everything out. |
