Friday Oct 18
Session 1 - Pairs SP & Women SP

Saturday Oct 19
Session 2 - RD & Pairs FS
Session 3 - Men SP & Women FS

Sunday Oct 20
Session 4 - Men FS & FD
Session 5 - Exhibition

The colored schedule is up! Not a fan of some of the early starting times which will force creative meal planning. The Sunday NBC TV window must be very early this year.

Men's FS starts at 12pm ET, final group would start around 1pm, with a 30 min break before the FD starts which would give NBC time to show something else live before showing the last group of the FD and wrapping up at 4pm ET. Seems like a pretty normal TV window.

In the past I thought the usual end time was 6 ET, right before the evening news. The only time I remember an 11am local start was on the west coast.

I’m speculating that it’s a ratings move. They used to counter program against football, but more women watch American football than figure skating, and the afternoon games that start at 4 or 4:30 tend to have larger audiences. If someone starts watching figure skating at noon, they may stay. Not so with the later game.

Less than a week to go and zero buzz here. Interesting.

There's a lot of buzz in my household lol my kids are very excited to go again

Mini is mad he won't be there because fall break and all was this past week. We're stuck in Florida atm, finally going home tomorrow night. (Disney! But extended because hurricane and we couldn't fly home as scheduled.)

I'll get in Wednesday, was considering changing to Thursday but I'd lose dirt-cheap hotel rate. Dad's having a knee replacement on Wednesday.

I was planning to start more threads in here later this weekend - in the meantime someone should create a separate "Who's going" or "Who's coming" thread.

Thanks - I just posted the link and copied out the Skate America U.S. broadcast schedule in the TV Alerts forum thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...on-nbc-universal-peacock.112090/#post-6660640

Would folks like a separate "TV & streaming coverage" thread for SkAm in this subforum like we've had in the past?

We'll have a thread again for Practice Reports (for those who want to post from the arena and/or who watch the Peacock livestreams).

Any sign of practice groups? Nothing on the ISU site yet, sigh....

Replying to myself....they are now up. Team USA in Group 2, each discipline. So I might get to see the USA dance teams.

Finally. Took you long enough to pony up the KnC access cash.

According to what I have seen by a couple of posters on X, Jean-Luc Baker & Jackie Wong will be doing some commentary on the Peacock practice feeds (and may have some guests). Those feeds are also supposed to be available after the live broadcast for 24 hours on the USFS YouTube channel.

Just repeating what I've read - don't blame me if it's not true

Since the only US TV of the event that "comes to Canada" is the NBC part on Sunday, I didn't look there
