Today, I have seen the death of broadcast TV. For more than 2 hours, I watched the Tour of California on Versus, suffering through their endless amounts of commercials. It turned out that the stage finish was delayed by about 20 minutes and, instead of staying until the end, they cut away to a hockey game.

Completely frustrated, I went online and it turned out that the Amgen Tour was broadcast from this Web site, see below. Note only did they have video and audio UNTIL THE FINAL SPRINT, but also they had play-by-play...GPS tracking..chat room...standings...etc. This is the future of media entertainment...Versus and its ilk are walking dead!
