I am fascinated by The Golf Channel’s coverage of The Open at Royal Liverpool.
So far this week, they have broadcast seven hours of ‘live’ coverage each day — followed by a repeat of that same coverage in the evening hours — and the golf tournament hasn’t even started yet.
That’s three days, 14 hours per day, of nothing but press conferences, talking heads and video of a practice round or two.
But no golf.
When the tournament begins on Thursday — at 4am ET, mind you — ESPN has the honors of showing actual rounds of golf.
Sucks to be the baby of the (cable) family, am I right?
