I picked this off Usenet this week from Mark Freidman of Toronto:
>I was informed today by OLN Canada's audience relations people that
>the network will not be covering not the World Championships (or the
>Vuelta) -- despite the
>fact that its US counterpart will be having daily coverage and,
>consequently, OLN Canada has ready access to the feed.
......
>If you subscribed to digital cable so you could watch cycling on OLN
>Canada, and you want to bitch and moan, call OLN/TSN audience relatins
>at (416) 490-7030, or email them at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
>For updates on this strange state of affairs, visit my ad-hoc Web site
>at http://www.blam.ca/oln/
I sent my own message and received this reply which is not completely
negative but if you feel strongly let the contacts listed above know.
>From: Audience Relations <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

>Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at OLN. We appreciate
>hearing from our viewers. OLN will be definitely increasing our cycling
>coverage. The Tour de France was a huge hit for OLN and the fans that
>watched. However, our programming is such that we cannot simply bump a
>couple of weeks of alternate programming to accommodate additional cycling
>coverage at this stage. We need more time to make the proper arrangements.
>Therefore, the changes in the cycling coverage are coming but they cannot be
>immediate. We are looking in to acquiring the rights for some cycling
>events but when/if we land the rights is still up in the air.

>We do listen to our viewers and are trying to bring what they want to OLN.

>Thank you,
