This article mentions that, also on Feb 11, NBCSN will “re-air” a show titled U.S. Figure Skating: 100th Anniversary Special. Does anyone know what that may be? Not the recent Johnny-Tara review of the last 8-10 years of Nationals on NBC, is it? Hope not.

Sorry; it is.
("USFS' 100th Anniversary Special" is what it's called on Peacock Premium.).
Mens Free skate still isn't showing up in my Cox listings, but there is a blank for Sunday evening. I guess they could show it there.
It's showing up as either AFC or NFC Divisional game on my xFinity listings on NBC and, obviously, not on NBCSN either. Glad I have Peacock Premium, I guess!

I don't get NBCSN here in Canada so I can't check my listing for more info, but the name of the program is exactly that of the Tara-Johnny review of some programs from the last decade.
Thanks. That what Sylvia also confirmed, few posts back.
So the Men's Free skate is just not gonna be on regular TV at all?
NBCSN routinely changes its listing so I'm expecting that whatever they've got scheduled to that men's free slot will be bumped in favor of the skating, especially if it's a mere regular season NBA game.So NFL boots the Sunday Men's Free Skate slot on NBC. Okay, I get it. Its NFL and also a playoff game, so yeah that is gonna kick skating. But NBCSN is showing a random, regular season basketball game whose outcome means nothing. Its not a playoff game, its not a title game ... its a random regular season game between a couple of mediocre teams over a National Championship event. No, not right. Not right at all.
Deep breaths. The schedules for NBCSN and Oly Chan are rarely correct until 48 hours before. The guides depend on NBC sending updates to all the cable and streaming companies and those companies loading the data. I’m sure there’s a lot of shuffling going on. If it’s not there by Friday, that’s when I’ll get worried.^^^ Oh its not even an NBA game, its a COLLEGE game. That's what ticks me off. A random regular season COLLEGE game being shown over a National Championship event. And I despise all basketball with the passion of a thousand firey suns, which ticks me off even more.
As I get older, I find competitions to be too grueling. Starting with having to get up early - am not a morning person - then sitting for so many hours in a cold arena. Add to that, the ladies bathroom line-ups. I've learned to deal with that by getting to the bathroom before the last skater in a flight finishes, but it's not ideal.
Annnndddd...let’s not forget another negative to live attendance: the spotty food situation - usually unhealthy like hot dogs or nachos - often with little time to chow down. And the lines for the food stands, during zamboni breaks, can be as bad as the bathroom lines. Horrible for diabetics in particular, who must eat regular meals at regular times.I've actually come to prefer watching skating on TV as opposed to seeing it live.
That said, I've enjoyed the live comps I've been too, particularly Worlds, which was in my city in 2001, and some of the Olympic skating - in my city in 2010.
And I've dearly love to go to another Worlds or Olympics in my lifetime.
These days, you don't even have to miss any skating. The gaps between skaters waiting for their marks to come up is often enough time for a quick bathroom break!
This doesn't affect coverage on NBC & NBC Sports Network is not available in Canada.
Men's FS was shown and Pairs FS now (Kayne/O'Shea's final competition as a team).
