YIPPEE!! - Giro will be shown on RAI-International

umwolverine — Fri, 08 May 2009 18:23:38 -0000

No stage one on Saturday... but, starting on Sunday with Stage 2, which will be a tape delay showing, not until 12.30 edt...

unfortunately, not live, but delayed coverage starting on the weekdays about an hour behind, at 10am edt, except for Monday, when scheduled to start at 9.40am edt.

you can get RAI-International thru DISH Network (the only reason i have it, for one month a year) and check with your local cable provider. tis a great pity that DirecTv doesn't choose to carry RAi-International (the only reason i put up with Dish).

if you're recording/tivoing, remember to include a generous buffer both before and after.
