- I believe NBC will show *parts* of the marathon starting at 11:00 central
- time on Saturday, Aug 1. No doubt it will be broken up. I can't imagine
- they would *even* think about covering more than 70 minutes of the race.
- Actually I was surprised there was going to be that much coverage. I'm
- also amazed that they are showing 2:30 of the men's marathon. The
- women's marathon won't be on the triple cast, so its just as well you
- didn't waste your money.
