Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

The women's Giro has an ad-free version, but not Le Tour. Livid with them and hope some sort of pressure is brought to bear, as they have breached advertising standards regulations.

but theyre stating the multi view is the ad free feed for the TdF, so I cant see theyll have breached anything, youve got ad free coverage


whats more annoying is the slow assed pace in the TdF today meant theyre coverage overran, so I got 20mins of the tedious breakaway instead of the womens giro highlights, which meant I missed the podium and post stage interviews again, because somehow the live coverage cut early too, probably to go to the TdF

Someone in the Studio team doesn't really understand. Huge background graphic proclaiming Pogacar's landmark as 100th pro stage win. "Only" 60 of them.

Not surprised, they cannot even get the womens giro highlights right, programme ends before race finishes!

they got it right tonight, well in so far as it was a complete program that is, the highlights themselves well it was just the last 30km of the stage in full, and no podium/interviews.

as I said a few posts back yesterday I think the Tour just overran and the epg didnt update, and clearly no-one checked the hour they picked off their content servers for streaming, so it just copy pasted the exact same hour when the Giro highlights were supposed to be, which was half of the breakaway, and only upto 10kms to go of the stage, Id guess the point is ultimately you werent missing any great package of highlights theyd put together, and you could still go rewatch the live stream of the race and get the same experience.

could happen again on stage 4, as the highlights are due right after their TdF coverage finishes.

If I see that eToro advert one more time I will not be responsible for my actions...

and it did got to within the last km this time, at least the repeats seem to run to schedule even if it still seems to abruptly end with the stage results and gc standings
