OLN Canada has been carrying live TdF coverage for that past couple of
years. It's great, as for decades, all you could get, if that, was an hour
or so highlights package on Saturday afternoons, on ABC.

There was a period of a 2-3 years from about 1998 when you could get a live
radio feed with continuously refreshed still pictures on a European sports
website (I forget which now), but they didn't have it the past couple of
years, as I recall. It was pretty unreliable anyway, as it suffered from too
much traffic (now there's a real problem for those who think the internet is
a replacement for any kind of radio!).

Other than that, as a decades long TdF fan, and a decades-long shortwave
radio user as well, I have never been able to pick up live coverage of the
TdF on shortwave. Maybe it was there, but I never did find any in North
America.

Thanks for all the internet links. But there is no access, hence I
would like to use my radio. Again thanks.

Since you don't have Web access, I guess you couldn't find this out,
but the OLN TV links that people were giving you were not only to
OLN's webcast, but also to information about their live broadcasts.
So if you get OLN, you can watch the race, not just listen to it.
(I think they carry it on both their U.S. and Canadian stations, but
I'm not positive.)
