Tells us what cycling is coming up on TV....

[TakeTheHighRoad]

Do we know which broadcasters (international or otherwise) will be showing the Euros?

My usual go to is SBS but I assume they won't show what with them not being in Europe (maybe that's why it's not on the BBC #brexit)

I would guess FranceTV will have coverage as the local broadcaster but are there any others?

It looks like it's on Eurosport too, but yet again that's not what the EPG says. Doesn't look like France TV captions... seems to be on Equipe 21, not a France TV channel. Are you sure they're host broadcaster?

There is probably a better place for this posting but having seen the film Breakaway Femmes last night [about the forgotten women's tour of the 1980s] it comes very highly recommended. A few screenings upcoming, mostly in Scotland : https://uk.demand.film/breakaway-femmes/

I was about to post the same thing! I honestly think that TNT Discovery are the most horrendous company out there!

* They inflate the price of watching cycling to almost unjustifiable levels
* They make it hard to work out which is the ad free channel
* They then make us watch ads even though we are selling our kidneys to watch the sport
* Now they make it hard for us even to find the cycling! Do I LOOK like I want to watch cricket????

There are very few companies I despise but they are at the top!

Looks to me like they think I want to pay lots of money to watch baseball or some other business masquerading as a sport that no-one plays around here
or that was what it was like when I last looked

if they want me to pay to watch their channel then they had better have a channel that shows mostly what I want to watch
and not something where I will feel I am paying for things I do not like
and happen to have a small portion of badly made coverage of the thing I do want to watch!!

How very dare you(!) They don't just "happen to have" it. Discovery paid a lot of money to buy GCN to con cycling-fan turkeys into voting for Christmas and put all the race eggs into one channel basket(!)

Can anyone explain why GCN on YouTube, supposedly bought back into private hands, is now openly promoting Discovery + and Max ?

Because they are being paid to do so?

I believe paid promotion spots are now the major source of YouTube income for non-MAGA channels, since a recent as revenue change.
