From the good folks at Atlantis Weather Gear

Watch the 2009 12-Metre World Championships tomorrow on ESPN Classic at 1pm (est)

See America's Cup winners Russell Coutts and Bill Koch aboard KZ 7!

ESPN Classic presents a world-premier broadcast "The Golden Year of 12-Metres" Saturday November 7, 2009 at 1pm (est). A Jobson Sailing Inc. film, produced and narrated by Gary Jobson.

Gary brings you aboard America's Cup winners Intrepid, Courageous and Freedom as well as Plastic Fantastics KZ 3 and KZ 7, weaving the history of the 12-Metre Class in America's Cup action through the exhilarating racing they're still doing today.

Extensive footage includes the 2009 12-Metre Worlds and interviews with sailors and legends who were in Newport, RI for the 6 day event, showing this historic class is alive and well, and if anything, getting better with age!

Keep an eye out for Atlantis gear on many of the 12-Metre crews!

Thank you but I'll pass. Jim Jones at least taught me one thing...Too much Kool Aid can be a killer...

It's a separate channel but it comes on most standard cable packages.

Are you kidding? Sears, Target, Wal-Mart and others began their lay away Christmas campaigns the second week of September...

Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away...

Disney owns ESPN and all the ESPN channels.

The deal they offer to cable companies (take it or leave it) is that all the ESPN channels, plus a bunch of other Disney properties, come as a bundle and must be part of the "Digital Basic" package and Disney gets something like $6.75 per month per subscriber. Unless it's gone up again.

This is why your cable rate has been growing faster than the consumer price index for years.

Enjoy the 12M Worlds program. You've paid for it.

Yes. Cable, TelcoTV and satellite.

Legislation to open up "a la carte" offerings was shot down in Congress a few years ago. The FCC held some hearings, and they went nowhere. We have the best government money can buy. And the media lobbyists sure do buy it.

It's on ESPN Classic. Disney sometimes reduces the bundle for smaller systems with limited channel line-ups. Don't know what the deal is in Norfolk, though.

I DVR'd it. If I can figure out how to get it onto some sort of transportable media I'll make a copy for you. ESPN classic is channel 230 on Cox btw.

Cool. For those of who are slightly challenged in the AV arena... what's involved.
If I have a Comcast cable recorder and a Mac?
