the on-screen data isn't as good as the ASO but it'll do.
and having robbie in the commentary box has been ace, frankly. almost makes up for phil & paul's tedious blather.

Do you work for Channel 9 ?
SBS do not have ad breaks every 7 - 9 minutes.....never start their broadcasts late.....
Oh look, tonight's highlights program is late (again).....So that's three for three so far !
Hopeless.......

However I am certain as I have stated before the production is exactly the same as other years and I would be very surprised if the ad breaks were any more than SBS.

Why delay exclusive rights content and put it after reruns?
I assume that it is financially more valuable - the reruns still get a bigger audience or a certain type of audience which brings in higher advertising revenues - and perhaps the cycling coverage advertising slots are cheaper because the audience (us) is narrower and smaller.
The TDU is probably the biggest local cycling event and there is a chance to raise the profile though needs the risky move of a time slot when more people are watching - if Channel 9 did this then on the one hand they could annoy some people, but could easily defend themself as the Wide World of Sports station where they are presenting different sports, some people like this, others like that.
I posted on the Wide World of Sports facebook page with a polite question asking about the schedualing however they must have deleted it which isn't a very modern approach to looking after the community.

Re the nine ring in. Whenever I see that meathead or any other non cycling chump wheeled out it always reminds me of the clueless commentator in the movie Best in show.

I can understand it running a little late if it was following some live broadcast which ran a little later than expected, but after 2 repeats of "2 broke girls"! come on
