Where the *&#$ is a comprehensive schedule? I don't care about these endless discussions of who gets Olympic channel, how bad their cable company is, etc, etc. I just want to know what is being covered when and on what channel. Here it is October 7 of an Olympic run up season and I can't find a schedule of Grand Prix coverage, Nationals, and so forth. Am I missing something? Heather hasn't updated her schedule. NBC has nothing, Olympic channel tells you what's on today and a "figure skating" search produces, among little else, a profile of Oksana Baiul. USFSA predictably has nothing. I must not be looking in the right place, but it seems awfully weird. Can anybody give me a link or a clue? My deepest appreciation to you if you can help.
Sked for FS on television? Please?

If you go to Icenetwork, you can find a schedule for every GP event. You don't have to be a member to see it.

USFS / NBC Olympics normally will publicize the TV figure skating broadcast schedule not long before Skate America, but since SA is the 6th & final Grand Prix event this year, there could be a delay. Be patient a little longer 
and a new thread for the U.S. TV broadcast schedule will be started as soon as the info is published online.
ETA: There once was a thread in this forum with preliminary broadcast dates/times for the 2017 Grand Prix series, but that was before UniversalHD went away and was replaced by the Olympic Channel. I can't seem to find that thread here or in the Archives, however.

I'm not finding what I'm looking for: a comprehensive schedule of events, times, and television channels for major upcoming FS events. If you can give a link, I'll kiss you.

My DVR goes out two weeks, so the Rostelecom Cup coverage is showing up as live on the Olympic Channel on Friday, Oct. 20 from 7-10:30am EST and then 11:30am-3:00pm. That's all I have so far. I think this is probably a good sign that all the coverage originally slated for Universal HD will now be on the Olympic Channel.

Sorry, can't help you there. IN is all online.

I saw this, too. It's exciting because if I'm not mistaken, we didn't get a lot of live coverage last year and it wasn't all skaters. This coverage appears to be live and every skater.
@Aimless, I would also keep an eye on the OlympicTalk blog run by NBC. They often post TV listings of the events they cover.

Here is the Olympic Sports Schedule from NBC which includes skating. They haven't updated their reference to UniHD which will probably be carried by the Olympic Channel.

I vaguely remember that one. I remember you took the trouble to clean it up to show the GP dates.
I looked for it a while back but couldn't find it either. I think it got moved in the board upgrade or something.

From what's showing on the DVR it looks like they've added lots more coverage for the first GP event than planned, so I'm hopeful they will have the same level of coverage for the rest!

They are showing the recaps on NBC, according to International Figure Skating magazine.
I've trusted this site for nearly 20 years, and I see she continues to update it! This is probably what you want.
