Americas Cup TV Coverage?

I also could not find it. Versus shows coverage in May. I think you will have to watch online to see the racing this week.

BMW/Oracle was clocked at 22 knots with 11 kts of wind. Wow! I read the upwind leg is 20 miles long.

Taped it this morning from ESPN (it was 4 am Peru's time). Postponed 'cause lack of wind.

Has anyone found television coverage of the Cup? Last time Verus (VS) carried it. I cant find it. I watched the BMW Oracle boat in San Diego and I think this years Cup will be fun to watch.
Thanks. Bob

It is being broadcast on ESPN360. Unfortunately my cable provider(Time Warner Cable) does not carry ESPN360.

So, it looks like the next race is Friday at 10:00 AM CET (Central European Time)? CET would be 5 hours ahead of EST -Right? That makes the race at 5:00 AM on the east coast? Do I have this right? Has anyone downloaded the high quality viewer from the Americas Cup Website? Is it worth it?

Thankyou for the info.
Gotta go watch now.
I think i still prefer the mono hulls.

To answer my own post for anyone who hasn't figured it out. CET is five hours earlier than the east coast usa. So its 2pm and change as I write this as it approaches 9AM Sunday - and the racing is postponed for now.
I downloaded the high quality viewer with no problems to report. I haven't seen any video yet so cannot report on the relative quality. It took very little time and is under
10 MB if I saw it correctily.
I was surprised on Friday about how exciting the multi hull racing is. I really enjoyed watching.
