WRC does that nowadays. The quality is bad to mediocre in WRC+, but it's not that Eurosport Player is/was excellent either. It's not the lack of amount of production why no/few TV channel shows all of it. It's just easier to sell regular time TdF stages into a middle of the replay season or an hour or two of smaller race, instead of 15 hours of program for 2,5 days with irregular gaps between show times, meaning that it pretty much occupies a channel for full 2,5 days.
