That would be awesome. I don’t subscribe anymore to regular tv (very expensive and a lot of crap). Most stuff I can stream etc.

 

[Sonata]

That’s too bad it’s not being broadcast on network tv. Figure skating used to be a jewel in the Canadian sports landscape.

I do not know half of the French broadcasting team. I guess this confirms Alicia Pineault retired.

 

[overedge]

If Ted Barton is hosting the English stream, I'll be watching the French stream.

 

[Jonas]

I'm hoping there won't be a long delay between the LIVE stream and when these vids will be archived and available for on-demand viewing. I don't have any issues w/Ted Barton -- I respect the man's work during the Jr. Grand Prix events. However, I just might tune into the French broadcast to see how much I can understand!

Your thoughts...

The CS Autumn Classic competition videos were uploaded quickly after the event, IIRC.

Skate Canada International taking viewers to a whole new place

I am really enjoying the practices with input to explain the technical aspects from the former skaters

 

[Alilou]

I bought myself tickets for Saturday

Hi guys just a heads up there is a fake skate Canada international Facebook, that asks to be your friend and copies the real site. This site asks you for your credit card to watch the skating online. I noticed that several FSU are friends with it. Don’t give your credit card number.

I received a friend request from this account. Normally I never fall for these, but I noticed multiple FB friends of mine that were already friends with the account/following it. So I was about to accept but I thought, no, this has to be a scam. Glad I did not accept the invite and thank you for sharing! Just declined the invite and reported the account.

 

[4rkidz]

I hope you reported it to FB security!!

They wont do anything only skate Canada can

 

[victorskid]

Have you reported it to Skate Canada then?

 

[tony]

This is not true. If it is reported, especially a multitude of times, Facebook will step in and ask for proof of them being who they are, or simply see that it's not the official SC page.

Facebook security can shut down scam accounts, if they see that the scammer is duplicating an existing account and asking for information that the existing account would never request (like credit card info).

Well I have reported it multiple times and they do nothing same with the Arctic winter games last year, their AI doesn’t seem to recognize the scam duplicate accts

Well so far like a dozen people have and it’s still there so will see

 

[overedge]

Well, Skate Canada can't shut down a FB account that they don't own. Only Facebook can shut down scam accounts. Whether they actually get around to doing it is a different issue.

Skate Canada can report from their page vs the general public which will go absolutely no where.

Give it some time. IME with friends who have their account cloned, it can take up to 24 hours at times.

 

[victorskid]

In addition to reporting it to Facebook, I have chosen to put up a warning note about it on my own page - that way any of my FB friends who are skating fans will be warned while it's still up.

Yeah that’s what I did I took a photo of the fake page and posted it along with the legitimate site

Thanks for the heads up!

It’s is under a different name.. might be difficult to report. I personally don’t follow Skate Canada on Facebook but they never have international in their name and they always include French.
