PGA Championship 2016 TV schedule: Coverage and start time for Friday's round




There are only three rounds of major championship golf left in 2016 as the PGA Championship heads into the second round on Friday. It's been a thrilling year for the major championships with a combination of great finishes and big names heavily involved in each. That could still be the case at the PGA Championship, but several of the top players will need better rounds to get into contention.
Heading into the second round, 20 players sit at 2-under or better, but not many of the 20 have major championship resumes or are among the top ranked players in the world. Instead, Jimmy Walker, Emiliano Grillo and Ross Fisher three of the four players at 4-under or better. Walker leads the field at 5-under. Martin Kaymer is also tied for second place at 4-under, the most accomplished player among the top four.
While there is no Jordan Spieth or Phil Mickelson jumping out to the first-round lead like at previous majors, some of the top players in the world are still in the mix. World No. 1 Jason Day is just three shots off the lead at 2-under. Rickie Fowler, still in search of his first major championship, is also 2-under heading into Friday. Spieth is five off the lead after shooting an even-par round of 70. Mickelson is one shot behind him at 1-over.
Dustin Johnson claimed his first major championship when he won the U.S. Open, but it will take a significant comeback if he's going to add another. He struggled on Thursday, finishing with a 7-over round of 77. He will open the second round 12 shots off the lead and in danger of missing the cut.
TNT will be back to provide television coverage. The network will broadcast live for six hours on Sunday, limiting live coverage to just the afternoon wave. While still significant coverage, it is considerably more limited than viewers have enjoyed in some previous majors.
The online coverage will also be limited. The only viewing option prior to the start of TV coverage will be marquee group streams. Those groups will include plenty of big names on Friday morning, but not many red numbers. Marquee group streams will begin at 8:30 a.m. while a simulcast TV stream will start at 1 p.m.
Here is a full look at the second round coverage. All times Eastern.

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
