Default What's up with OLN coverage in stage 6 today?

Why did OLN cut away to commercial without warning with
under 3 miles to the finish and the peleton on the verge of
catching up the the lead group of 4 in stage 6 today? Why
did they roll back the tape to around 5 miles to go when
coverage resumed? Why did they then cut away to commercial
suddenly yet again with around 2 miles to go an a solo
breakaway from the lead group in progress? And why, when
coverage resumed, was the race all over with no word on that
breakaway? Was this some sort of technical glitch, or is
this a reflection of what OLN thinks of its cycling viewers?
I was specifically watching the first repeat coverage of
today's stage, so it wasn't even live. This is not how to
cover the tour.

And what's with the 20+ reruns of all those "Lance
Chronicles" segments? Is it that hard to come up with new
programming? How many times do we have to see Lance chew
out "College" for making bad coffee? Is OLN a cash-poor
takeover target?
