Has anyone noticed that parts of nationals are not being showmn in their area? I watch St Louis coverage and Sat afternoon is not being shown because of college basketball which means no mens coverage. This is outrageous.

Yeah, here in Colorado Springs (home of the USFSA) we are getting local Colorado College hockey on ABC instead of the Ladies Free Skate. The Ladies Free is still showing on the Denver ABC station, but I don't think I get that...on the main cable company of the area.

I think I'll be proactively calling my ABC affiliate and having "words" with them.

Be nice to them. Usually with enough calls (and I imagine with the shating interest in the Springs they'll get enough calls), your local station will so the event at another time. Or with a high volumn of calls, if they don't have a contract to show the hockey game, they may change their minds. I tend to think it's a contractual thing because there is such a high skating interest in the area. Let me know if you hear that it is a contractual thing, please. I'm just curious. Do you have a friend elsewhere that can tape it for you and send you the tape? Can you add the Denver channel to the cable line up? If so, do that, then cancel it after the event is over!
