    I think they showed the top 4 dancers and the top 5 pairs. They also had a longish feature on why Canada hardly ever has top women competitors. It was a nice show, considering that I wasn't expecting any coverage at all this year. I was also impressed at the quality of the skating.

    Oh, I love those types of fluff pieces. I could just listen to Tracy and PJ go on and on about the state of ladies skating. I know I will rewatch that fluff piece over any of the performances today.

    What are their thoughts on why Canada so rarely has top ladies?

    Oh me too! So much more interesting than seeing the full performances of our potential future stars like Bell/Sylvester and Bobak/Beharry. And I definitely didn’t care about seeing Poulin/Servant at all…..

    That was very lousy of CBC.ca. It's only 10:42, why are they showing Jason Brown already? We only managed to see 3 of the men in the final flight????

    Is there any way to find out whether the World Jr Men & Ladies program will ever "Become Available", given that the Pairs/Dance show is available?

    Good question! I'd like to know as well. Is there a contact page on the CBC site we can use?

    They have a "Contact Us" page

    http://www.cbc.ca/contact/

    I tried emailing them, and this is what you get:

    Nevertheless, your feedback is important to us! All e-mails are read and your comments, complaints, and concerns are added to our Audience Reaction Report. Each week, the report is distributed to our senior producers, programmers and the President and CEO, Hubert T. Lacroix.
