I'm not sure why, but if your cable company is Comcast, you should surf all the channels that you never use because the chances are likely that hidden away amongst them is OLN!

I have no idea why this is, nor why they don't even list it on their hokey TV Guide channel, but it's been nice to see the tour!

I concur. I have Comcast and live in Avon, CT. I seem to get OLN sporadically on channel 57, which is normally c-span 2 on my system.

Yeah, it's nice to catch the TDF.....even if Comcast makes us look for it. OLN seems to show in late afternoon/early evening here in Plainville,MA. During the day they sell stuff on that channel.

c-span 2??? Is there even a need for a c-span 1?

Luckily for me, Cox in Newington has carried OLN for several years now. OLN is good for two things: TdF and MTB.

I'm think'n COMCAST finally responded to the demand for(read HUGE disappointment for not having) OLN. Seeing that Lance is one of COMCASTS main spokespersons (in print and TV Ads) it only made good sense to do so.
At least they followed through with it, ATT Broadband was even worse when it came to customer service...Glad to hear you COMCAST subscribers are enjoying the TDF on OLN.

Now that so many more of you are watching the TDF, how many of you are SICK of the SUBARU and TREK ads! - - -over and over and over....enough!

I havent noticed the ads at all. However in the last week I bought a new Trek, a Subaru and a DR brush cutter/chipper and a really cool metal detector. What kind of ads were those again?

But if Trek & Subaru didn't pay for those ads, how do you think OLN could afford to put on the Tour?? Be thankful those guys step up to support cycling.
