  • Anyone who will watch the Beijing Olympic games? I would love to watch the equestian events.

  • I cant wait for the olympics!!especally the show jumping and crosscountry phases! dressage is beutiful too though!

  • I think that CBS or ABC should also cover the Olympics. Some people don't get NBC and I was looking forward to watching the Olympics. I would be very pleased if CBS or ABC could cover the Olympics.

  • I am So happy that Oxygen picked this coverage up!!!!! Last year I was so disappointed that Bravo did all the coverage and I did not get to see anything except 2 hours on NBC. I am so HAPPY ...HAPPY....HAPPY!!! Thank you OXYGEN!

  • Thank you for typing up a schedule. I couldn't find it any where else. On the 21st it's missing a station to watch it at. Nothing was posted for the 10th.
    Thanks so much!

  • I wish that the TV coverage was much more extensive. Seems like the horse events are always shorted in coverage.
