Fencing on TV

Just read that there is going to be a new cable channel called "College Sports
Network." They are advertising that they are going to show fencing.

The question then is "how often?" and "when?" if it's only on at 3:00
a.m. on the fifth Friday of the month, it's not going to be of much
use.

(Recalling how at the last Olympics, the U.S. channels had more
fencing on the commercials than on the actual "coverage.")

Some people insist that "mediocre" is better than "best." They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.

Yeah, I posted that about 6 months ago when the network was first
announced.

Why not? I have a VCR (several, in fact). Now, it probably won't help
FENCING much if it's only on at 3:00 a.m., but it will be good for those
of us who'd like to see it.
