Seven Ironman events will appear on the Versus network this fall. Included in the fall series are six full distance Ironman events.

The series begins this Sunday with the exciting coverage of Ford Ironman Arizona, a race that has provided a sneak preview of future Ironman champions in the past. Faris Al-Sultan claimed his first Ironman title in Arizona before becoming the Ford Ironman World Champion in 2005. Michellie Jones claimed her second Ironman title that same year, a precursor to her Kona win last year.
Check local listings for the exact times in your region:

The Ironman folks send out email with the dates and times. I think you can signup for their announcements on the ironman.com site.

Cayman,

Do you have DirectTV?
I checked listings and it is channel 608 in our area.

Is it a subscription channel?

Inquiring minds want to know!! :D

Beads,
It's not a subscription channel. I don't have any extra's for direct TV and was able to watch it yesterday.

that is awesome news! I wonder if they will do the whole race or if they will do the one hour clip show like they do for Kona.
