It is appalling how terrible the tv coverage here in Canada has become. How can there be so little coverage for one of Canada's biggest winter sports?

I remember a couple of decades ago when we got tv coverage of almost every single figure skating event. In recent years it had been reduced to basically just Skate Canada and the Worlds, and now we won't even get TV coverage for Skate Canada?!

Pressure needs to be exerted on CBC to broadcast Skate Canada and the Worlds. How can this be happening in a season in which Canada is hosting the World Championships?

Not TV coverage obviously, but this Instagram post makes it sound like the streaming on CBC Gem will include most of the TV broadcast team (?): https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyV7wm3APYd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

streaming videos are up for Friday;


It's not on Gem, but on CBC Player, their streaming service. As best I can figure out Gem is for shows and Player is for live streaming.

I've been watching on GEM and it's just the international commentators for me... is that the same for everyone?

Unfortunately, the lack of TV coverage seems to reflect the fact that this is a sport which is losing viewership with the public.

We figure skating fans can find it, but the lack of tv coverage will not bring in many new viewers. Figure skating seems to be a sport which is on the decline in public popularity.

As mentioned above, a couple of decades ago we used to get tv coverage of almost every figure skating event, and now it is down to nothing.

Hopefully there will be some tv coverage by the time of the Worlds in March, otherwise it will be embarrassing for Canada.

"With no TV broadcast available this weekend, fans will need to fire up their phones, tablets or computers to catch all the action from Vancouver. And there's lots to see." By Rob Brodie:

Skate Canada International taking viewers to a whole new place

With no TV broadcast available this weekend, fans will need to fire up their phones, tablets or computers to catch all the action from Vancouver. And there's lots to see.
rwbrodiewrites.substack.com rwbrodiewrites.substack.com
Excerpts:
“The television market has changed so significantly. You can’t find skating on a main network anywhere in our country,” said Ted Barton, executive producer of Skate Canada Productions, which is the creative force behind the presentation you’ll see this weekend (in Canada, it can be found on SkateCanada.ca, as well as cbcsports.ca and CBC Gem). “And our numbers were three times bigger than CBC’s numbers last year. Our streaming numbers were bigger than their television numbers. So we’ve transitioned the viewership of our sport.
“If you take a look at this, the ISU streams all their competitions. If you really are a skating fan, you can go on isu.org and watch Skate America and watch from France and watch from China. You don’t get that on TV but you get it on streaming. Everything at Skate Canada is on streaming. So if you know how to stream on your phone or your iPad or computer, skating exists there. You don’t need it on TV. And on TV, some days, it’s a day old and you’ve got a lot of commercials, or you’re only seeing the top six skaters. It doesn’t serve the people who are interested in the sport, but it does serve an older generation. It serves that generation quite nicely. It’s just different and it’s changing.”

The same production is being used for the Canadian championships in Calgary in January. Barton’s crew will also supply in-venue SkateBug Radio commentary for fans in attendance at the 2024 World Championships to be held in March at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
“We will have a small team of French and English (commentators) there. So if you’re in the audience or in the media, you’ll get a pre-event little show and you’ll have commentary during the performances,” he said. “After the skate, they’ll say ‘let’s take a look at the replay,’ and the video replays are on the video board (in the arena). Whatever they say will be referring to what you see in the building. So it’s like sitting at home talking with a bunch of people at the same time you’re watching the event live.”
Smaller productions are also planned for the Skate Canada Challenge events (senior/junior, Nov. 29-Dec. 3 in Winnipeg; pre-novice/novice, Feb. 1-4 in Oakville, Ontario), as well as the novice national championships, Feb. 21-25 in Waterloo, Ontario. Each will include live streaming of all the competitors.

Well the thread topic isn't exactly right for this info but I'm not starting a new one for this apparent one-off -
CBC's French language network just started a 2 hour showing of the Skate Canada Free Programs. Perhaps also there will be a link on the webpage?

As usual commentary by Alain Goldberg, this time with Rene Pothier. This is apparently the networks Sport Weekend show this week.

They started with Madeline Schizas and Alain was as usual super rapturous over her clean skate. lol

Four Continents live streaming links
for CBC sports and CBC Gem

Unless CBC has skipped showing some of their links, it looks like they are probably going to have 2 links for the first day's 3 events and just 1 link for each of the next 2 days 2 events, then back to 2 links for the 4th day. (Some of the links are just labelled ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championship. Note that the "Watch Guide lists all 8 event segments separately plus the Gala. (Scroll down the page a bit.) - https://www.cbc.ca/sports?ref=cbcsports
So based on the start times listed on GEM, here are the links and what I think is happening.

Wednesday 9:45 pm ET - Women Short
- https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2299558979640
- https://gem.cbc.ca/live-event/38281

Thursday 3:00 am ET - Men Short & Pairs Short
- https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2299710531512
- https://gem.cbc.ca/live-event/38310

Thursday 11:30 pm ET - Rhythm Dance & Women Free
- https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2299712067596
- https://gem.cbc.ca/live-event/38311

Friday 11:45 pm ET - Pairs Free & Men Free
- https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2299705411998
- https://gem.cbc.ca/live-event/38323

Saturday 11:00 pm ET - Free Dance
- https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2299708995945
- https://gem.cbc.ca/live-event/38341

Sunday 4:30 am ET - Exhibition Gala
