[Sylvia]

Skate Canada's press release yesterday (Oct. 27): https://skatecanada.ca/2021/10/skate-canada-invites-you-to-join-the-new-live-stream-broadcast/

Skate Canada has put together an extraordinary team of former high performance athletes that will bring a fresh approach to skating coverage. We welcome Kevin Reynolds (Men), Kaetlyn Osmond (Women), Kaitlyn Weaver (Ice Dance), Meagan Duhamel (Pairs), Elladj Balde (Art of Performance), and Patrick Chan (Art of Skating) with host Ted Barton to provide us with excellent, honest, and compassionate coverage of performances.

We invite our community to join us with the launch of this new broadcast this week at Skate Canada International. Join us and engage with our broadcast team by asking questions to the commentators about the event, sport, and their own journeys. Send in your questions through email to [email protected] or text 1-604-418-3157.

"Tessa Virtue, Meagan Duhamel and Patrick Chan will join CBC Sports as special analysts for Skate Canada International, the Grand Prix event that begins on Friday in Vancouver." (Oct. 28): https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/...da-international-preview-cbc-lineup-1.6227627

I would like to hear Canadian fans' feedback re. the new commentators this weekend since those of us outside Canada (without a VPN) won't be able to watch/listen.

NBC Recap Show
All times Eastern. Subject to change.
Saturday, Oct. 30 - 4-6 p.m.

Odd that NBC would recap as the Men’s finals are happening & well before the Women’s Finals. They’ll probably show top-3 Women’s SPs and direct viewers to Peacock in the evening (10:30pm est).

I think the date is wrong and it will be on Sunday october 31

I think the date is wrong and it will be on Sunday october 31

My TiVo shows it as Saturday at 4 Eastern, with a description of “Ladies (not woemen’s) and men’s free skates from Skate Canada, an ISU Grand Prix event in Vancouver, BC. Also, a look at pairs and ice dancing free skates.” Since the frees don’t even start until 4 Eastern, I have no clue what will air. NBC has a commitment to NASCAR on Sunday afternoon.

If you get the Olympic Channel, all events will be run each night from November 1-4 at 8p-11p EST. Tape delay but at least can watch it all if you don't have Peacock.

My on-screen Comcast guide also indicates 4pm est Saturday. I too thought that it was an error, so I also checked Sunday afternoon but, no; NBC will show live NASCAR racing at that time.

Oh well, I get Peacock but was thinking of others. As BaileyCatts pointed out, there’s always Olympic Channel for reruns during the week...what I used to watch before Peacock came on the scene.

YouTube streams are currently geoblocked in countries where they should not be (like Brazil, in my case). Let’s hope they’ll get it fixed before the competition starts.

ETA: it’s fixed

Thanks for posting. I somehow only just now clued into the fact that this competition is in Vancouver. I kept subtracting three hours to all the times -LOL!

That’s what I did last week for Skate America - got used to calculating time differences for events east of me instead of west of me.

I had to print the detail sheets and write it down next to the PST time. I never do that for European time zones.

Maybe NBC and Peacock are testing us to see how creative we can be.

FYI - the CBC TV coverage today is highlights of three of the short programs from yesterday - Men, RD & Women - followed by live coverage from the Pairs FS. Brenda Irving did the men's coverage with Andi Petrillo & Patrick Chan in the arena. I've got it recording so that I can watch live beginning now
