Just received an email from Ice Network saying that the 2010-2011 Season Pass is now available.
The cost is $39.95 for the entire season through 9/30/2011.
http://web.icenetwork.com/subscribe/Their "Premier Events" include:
. 2011 US Figure Skating Championships
. Skate America
. Grand Prix Final
. NHK Trophy
. Skate Canada
. Trophee Eric Bompard
. Rostelecom Cup
. Cup of China
. 2011 US Synchronized Skating Championships
. 2011 US Adult Figure Skating Championships
Plus:
. 2011 US Junior Figure Skating Championships
. 2011 Regional and Sectional Championships
. Featured Skating Specials
We've already seen that they didn't show Regionals live, so they're including their "on demand" coverage as part of the deal. Just because they're calling it a "Premier Event" doesn't mean it will be shown live.
The blackout restrictions are interesting:
