Title: Skating on TV - Schedule Pages
Post by: Isk8NYC on August 28, 2010, 08:37:42 PM: There are two great schedules online.

The classic Heather Winfield's "Figure Skating TV Schedule" page:

This site is a work of art - there are small tabs towards the bottom that let you select US Television, Online Viewing, and International TV.

US Figure Skating events are shown on their internet subscription-only site, http://www.icenetwork.com

Most US events and specials are being carried by NBC and UniversalSports and their online site, www.universalsports.com

To watch you have to pay about $10 per month (approximately, I don't remember it exactly from my head).

I'm bummed because NBC sold Universal Sports where I was watching the events to a cable entity, so I no longer get it. Would like to find a web alternative to watch upcoming skating season.

I miss the days when there were more figure skating fans on this board and we would have pretty good discussions!

Was very disappointed last night not to see World's coverage on NBC because it was pre-empted by a freaking basketball game!!

Luckily my skating compatriots informed me that it was being re-run from 2am - 4am and I recorded it but was really looking forward to an evening of skating on TV with my husband... very disappointing!!

Grrr Basketball.
