Looks like beIN Sports will air the opening stage, but all listings disappear after the first day? Anyone know the deal?

Looks like I will be watching it on Youtube... (Euro Sports network, I believe).

Broadcasting in the U.S seems to have gone down in the past 2-3 years. For a while it was really getting good. It seems like Sports Net. was broadcasting a bunch then it seems to have stopped.

BIEN has some more, but you have to upgrade to get it.

As of Thursday beIN's schedule info has been updated and it looks like they'll be showing the entire race on my TV service (Im in the US).

Yeah, beIN is a premium channel that I'd have to upgrade to as well. It's much easier for me to watch live via one of Cyclingfans Eurosport streams if I'm up early enough (which is often) or wait a day or two for the full stages to go up on Youtube in HD. Then I watch on the big screen via my blu ray player :D

I just upgraded to BeIN to watch the Giro and it added $9 a month. Worth it in my book.

Perks of living in europe! When I was over the pond last year I watched the Tour via livestream on steephill.

Seems I'm lucky to have TV coverage for free, but the commentation is killin me. Resorted to watching it on mute. I'm just getting old and cranky I guess? Aerial footage is quite nice, however.
