question since I know you're watching Peacock...it says pairs will be shown at 1:35 am. That can't be right. NBCSN doesn't start until 10:00 which means the first flight of pairs would be not shown? I may have to cue up a VPN to watch the ISU feed. I'm hoping that is a time error.
On screen says 9:35 Eastern
No idea why mine is saying 1:35 am. Weird. I'm ready with a VPN if necessary. Back up for the back up.
NBC showed 9 women's & 5 men's short programs on their 2-hour broadast today and AFAIK nothing else from Skate Canada is scheduled to be broadcast on regular TV (Tanith White closed the show by saying the free skates would be streamed on Peacock).
I note that my Olympic channel has 6-8 broadcasts scheduled for the coming week from Skate Canada. I'm assuming these will be from Peacock. So far there is only a description for the first 2 broadcasts, which are Rhythm Dance and Free Dance.
Live NASCAR is far more exciting than FS
It's too early in the season for Karen Chen. She seems to peak around Nationals/Worlds.
I wasn’t referring to Karen Chen. What I meant was that NBC has a problem with marketing the US women in general...and it’s the Women’s discipline that brings in viewers. No chance of a US woman winning the Olympic gold = less interest in figure skating among the casual, once-every-four-years public, which has $$$ implications. Those sorts of Middle-American TV-set viewers prefer their NASCAR.Live NASCAR is far more exciting than FS

I disagree. I live in an area that’s always had support for figure skating and you can see the meh factor. The girls are aspiring to be soccer players or X-Games superheroes, not ice princesses. But the boys seem to think that FS is cool thanks to the current crop of men. NBC knows their demographics, which is why we see the men in prime time when they have any input.
Try downloading it again. I have the most current version on Roku and it’s working well if you can get past Peacock’s less than friendly navigation.
I don't have the Olympic Channel but came across the top 3 free dance videos -- featuring the Whites -- uploaded by NBC Sports on their YT channel and have posted the links (geoblocked outside the USA) in the GP Italy subforum in Kiss & Cry: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/2021-gran-premio-ditalia-videos.108886/#post-6105418
Shoot, I forgot about this. Will they archive the Tanith and Charle versions on Peacock, anyone know?
See my post above yours & follow the link.
Thanks! I was hoping for the whole show with them, but if it's not available, oh well.See my post above yours & follow the link.
Olympic Channel on Sunday, Nov. 14 Central time:
And Nathan is to thank for that. Kind of like how NBC changed the women's UsOpen final in 2001 (?) to primetime on Saturday night for the first time since it was the first Slam final between Venus and Serena. Sometimes the men's competition is just more exciting and interesting and attracts more viewers. So they get prime time.
Anyone watch? I forgot and was wondring how many (singles only?) full programs were shown yesterday?
Nope, I deleted it. I just can’t.
