I am still in shock NBC Sports Gold has shown all the COC victory ceremonies in real time. Thank you.
aftershocks said:I have a lot of issues on my laptop with the videos on demand not opening properly on the first click. I have to go back to the main video on demand page and click again before some of these videos will initialize and open properly. I don't know if it's NBCSportsGold's unwieldy and difficult to use website or my laptop. It's not the browser.
@misskarne NBC Sports Gold doesn't have commentary.
NBC Gold has commentary for Skate America as well as Nationals. I think it was Charlie White who mentioned at Nationals that they had been cautioned about not talking too much.Oh darn! I was so happy with the GP series not having them.
Apparently you didn't watch the Ladies tonight. There was commentary on NBC Gold, by Tanith and Charlie, and there were close-ups in the K/C.So now there's no commentary apparently for senior events on NBC Gold. Last year, Michael Weiss and Charlie White provided commentary on the NBC Gold live stream, and we also got close-ups of the kiss 'n cry. This year for some unexplained reason, the stream is not providing close-up shots of the skaters in the kiss 'n cry for senior events! I can understand that it's not done for junior events. But why this change?.........
They weren't on the air during the first 2 teams so I switched over to TT&J for the pairs SP and was pleasantly thrilled when I turned on the ladies SP and heard Tanith & Charlie. Their commentary was marvelous!Tanith and Charlie were in the booth with headsets for the pairs, so I thought they were on the air.
NBC Gold must have been having some technical difficulties which they might have not been aware of?!? There were no graphics/replays or tracker during the entire Pairs SP event, the audio was off and there was no commentary at all. It looked like one camera was doing the whole event. The K&C looked so tiny. They finally got it sorted right when the ladies event started. The commentary audio came on suddenly since Tanith and Charlie were mid-sentence. The graphics, replays and tracker were also restored. They are listed on the press release to be commentating on the entire event on Gold together minus dance (Tanith will be on the TV NBC for dance).Tanith and Charlie were in the booth with headsets for the pairs, so I thought they were on the air.
I hope it will be Ben. I'm not sure what NBC's TV plans are for dance. If they don't show all of them, then Tanith could be doing earlier groups on Gold and the remaining on TV. Ben is only listed for the Ice Desk on their press release which are partly accurate.Is Ben going to sub in for Tanith on Gold for dance? Or I guess they need a PBP person while Ben is usually color.

That app still gives me trouble every blasted time. At least my subscription allows me to view it on the computer. But it's frustrating.
