TV & streaming coverage for WC in Montréal, Canada

[Karen-W]

@puglover, can you find out if your daughter uses a VPN (or can subscribe to one for a free monthly trial) so you can access the ISU YT channel?

The Chrome browser has a free VPN you can add on.

Could someone who is good with the timing of such things, tell me how long the men’s short program will last in its entirety?

Scheduled to last 5 hours 45 minutes, finishing at 4:55 PM.

Thanks, I will miss half of it then. Booooo!

I will be in the US staying at my daughters. I am not sure if they have Peacock as I know they don't watch much tv. I probably won't be able to get the ISU channel or CBC and I really don't want NBC. Is that likely all I can get?

If your daughter has a smart tv (able to stream from the internet) you should be able to watch the ISU through Youtube. You don't need a subscription to do that. https://www.youtube.com/@SkatingISU/streams

Not in the US - it will be geoblocked without a VPN.

I expect USA to have the standard Terry, Tara, an Johnny. The only time US folks will be spared Tara is for dance.

 

[victorskid]

For those wondering, Mark Hanretty will be in Montreal to do the ISU YouTube stream commentary - he's leaving the UK tomorrow (according to his post on X today)

So no Chris Howarth Bingo??

Nope, lol. It was jolly fun but I'll gladly take Mark Hanretty commentary over Chris Howarth bingo at any ISU event.

Broadcast (cable)TV (and just to make things confusing this coverage that is made for cable TV and will have CBC's own commentators, Kurt, Megan, etc. will also be available on Gem). All times Pacific.

Thursday 12.30am-2.30am
Friday 5-7pm
Saturday noon-2pm
Saturday 11pm-1am


I'm quite confident the entire competition will also be streamed live on Gem with the ISU feed. Their streaming schedule indicates this (even if it's a bit loosey-goosey atm).

https://www.cbc.ca/sports/streaming-schedule?sport=Figure+Skating

Quoting myself here to add changes

Cable TV
All times Pacific.
Thursday 12.30am-2.30am
Thursday 5-7pm
Friday 5-7pm
Saturday noon-2pm
Saturday 11pm-1am


Streaming on Gem or cbc.ca/player/sports
the whole competition will be streamed live - ISU feed.
Plus daily a segment called CBC Sports Presents:
Thursday 5-7
Friday 5-7
Saturday noon-2pm
Saturday 10.30-12.30
Sunday 9-11am
The times kinda match up with the cable times above.

At times will need to choose between watching streaming of ISU feed with Mark Hanretty, or switching to broadcast tv with Megan and prob Kurt (?) and I don't know who else.

 

[overedge]

@Alilou If they're genuinely planning to air something at 12:30 am, we may also have to choose between watching and sleeping

 

[Skate Talker]

@Alilou If they're genuinely planning to air something at 12:30 am, we may also have to choose between watching and sleeping

They probably will - CBC often uses that time slot for sports - either a version of something already broadcast earlier in the day, or an event that they couldn't fit into their schedule earlier in the day.

 

[Alilou]

Anyone got any idea when the ISU YouTube tiles will appear? It's less than 2 days now.

ETA I found them, well for the first day anyway, by moving to Mexico.

@Japanfan my apologies, apparently I was wrong. It seems the ISU feed will be blocked in Canada so we watch it with a VPN or on Gem or CBC player.

[skatingguy]

Just a reminder to those watching from outside North America that we have already changed our clocks for the spring, and so the time difference you might normally expect is going to be an hour less.

 

[Skate Talker]

It seems the ISU feed will be blocked in Canada so we watch it with a VPN or on Gem or CBC player.

Still a slight chance the block is a mistake and will be removed at some point. IIRC at least a couple of times in the past this has happened, once not until the second or third event.

At any rate, here are the Canadian links I've located so far at cbc sports, gem, and radio-canada.

Edited Tuesday due to suddenly different links in a different format showing for the cbc sports player. I am putting them in BOLD and not removing the original links I found for now - just in case. As of now both links seem to work.

Canadian links I've located so far at cbc sports, gem, and radio-canada.

This happened last year but I don't think it will happen again as the event is hosted in Canada, but we'll see.

At any rate, here are the Canadian links I've located so far at cbc sporrs, gem, and radio Canada.

Thank you for compiling those! I was going to copy and paste the radio canada links for myself and post them all here but now I don't have to. Honestly this is the best bet for Canadians, especially if you can't watch it live. They let you rewind the stream a bit (about 30 minutes I think) and it's the same link to watch the replay. I don't know why CBC doesn't do this. I mean the last two Olympic games the live links for all the events were the same as the replay so it made it very easy to watch anything you wanted when you wanted to watch it. Anyway enough about that.

CBC.ca/player lets you rewind

The replays yes but I have never been able to rewind a live broadcast on the CBC stream.

 

[skatfan]

When I checked Peacock today, only the Men's Free had a World Feed in addition to the regular one. Anyone else find this?

The earlier start time is the world feed (full event) to distinguish it from the later one, which is NBC's live primetime broadcast.

 

[skatfan]

The earlier start time is the world feed (full event) to distinguish it from the later one, which is NBC's live primetime broadcast.

But I only have one feed showing up for each segment, except for the mens free.

 

[Sylvia]

The 7 other Peacock tiles are the world feed. Mark Hanretty -- and I've heard Tonia Kwiatkowski (last heard on IceNetwork's 2018 U.S. Nationals coverage) -- will be on the world feed/ISU livestream.

 

[Skate Talker]

But I only have one feed showing up for each segment, except for the mens free.

I believe that's because only the Men's Free will have any live broadcast on the main NBC network. Anything else broadcast live is on cable USA channel

Well and Thank YOU for posting the radio-canada link to the Pair's Short program in the TV Alerts thread, because that's what I used to help me find the list of all the other links today.
