It's probably because Eurosport is available in many countries
I blame the lack of Brits in 2015 and now 2016.

The Giro wanted more money than the Tour, according to Ned or Matt on Twitter a few years ago.

It seems to me that Nibali is having a quiet spring even by his usual standards. I've looked back at his stats for 2013 and it seems that he is riding a fairly similar race program, although the big difference is that he won both Trentino and Tirreno-Adriatico that year.
The amount of TTing in this year's race does give him a massive advantage over Landa though. And Uran, for that matter.
It could be a very open race.

At the request of Marmion I've added spoilers to the title, so you can also discuss results here.

Except that Nibali will not be falling off his bike three times a day!

Dumoulin and others tipped him for the opening TT, so that was him done for.

He might just suffer round in the hope of staying in the fight if at all possible, unless he's completely incapable.
