TV Coverage of the Nature Valley Grand Prix

TV coverage of the Nature Valley Grand Prix will air this weekend.
The 2007 Nature Valley GP, ranked at the top of the USA Cycling
National Racing Calendar, included a unique mix of criteriums, road
races and a time trial, and featured Stillwater's 20 percent Chilkoot
Hill, part of the "Hardest Criterium in North America."

In the men's race, the battle for the yellow jersey turned into a
shoot out between two teams. Toyota United held the Nature Valley
Grand Prix lead, but HealthNet presented by Maxxis won five straight
stages to try to take it away. Minnesota's pro bike race came down to
the hilly last day to decide who would win the title and the jersey.

On the women's side, World Champion Kristin Armstrong (TEAm Lipton)
wasn't content to sit in and wait for the win. Armstrong attacked
every single day to dominate her race for the women's title.

Versus (formerly known as OLN) will air the full program of the Nature
Valley Grand Prix. The action is called and analyzed by legendary
announcers Bob Roll and Dave Towle.

I wonder how much the race pays Versus for the coverage?

Thanks,
