Not other channel thought Newman was important enough to interrupt there programing especially the last minutes of a live event.
Would they of done that during the last over of a cricket match?
Well done to Gerrans. Great ride.

Highly doubt that it wouldn't have happened during a crucial point in a cricket match...or football game!
We switched to the live streaming but it wasn't quite the same.

What has that got to do with nines programing decisions?jimsheedy wrote:Bad move from nine. But they're not the only villains here. That Newman creature is only there because Queenslanders voted for him.
Just a typical nine....

Mmmm. I'm guessing the cutlery at your place has corks on the sharp bits.

They could also recorded the time when Newman was talking also and played it after the interruption. (not defending anyone here, just stating the bleeding obvious)

Otherwise the coverage was quite good with a fair idea of distances to the end and between the peloton and breakaway groups.

Yes, this is exactly the point I made after stage 2. There was no mention that many of the riders who would have been expected to contest the finish had been caught up in a crash so the viewer was left wondering what had happened to them.AUbicycles wrote:Good coverage until the end, after Gerrans won and we should have been seeing what was happening further back, they seemed to completely forget this in the programming as they didn't show anything at all from other riders.

+ 1 Good points made.AUbicycles wrote:Good coverage until the end, after Gerrans won and we should have been seeing what was happening further back, they seemed to completely forget this in the programming as they didn't show anything at all from other riders. I started talking to the TV, show me what's happening.
Otherwise the coverage was quite good with a fair idea of distances to the end and between the peloton and breakaway groups.
Too many ads but hey it's commercial TV. Liggett and Sherwin really ground the coverage, to me they are uber familiar and make it ever so easy for me to tune in.
