I feel like this is 1999-2000 again with all of the figure skating that is being shown this season on American television.
The Olympic Channel, starting on 10/20, will feature full coverage of the Rostelecom Cup events (seriously, about 7 hours worth of short program/short dance) starting at 7AM. In between and after the competitions, they are doing 'Return to Sochi' and 2017 World Championship rebroadcasts. I've watched a few of the Olympic ladies gymnastics events that they've re-aired (from 1988 until the most recent), and they are great.
Also, it seems all events are being re-aired later in the day (primetime) for those that won't be able to watch live.
Let's hope this follows through all the way through the season. I know Universal used to have similar coverage, but it was never part of my channel lineup.
