The World Championships...will it all be on NBC.?

[FSWer]

Say I was just looking at Heather's site,and on her TV. Schedule the World Championships is listed for March,28th for the Ladies Long. But every other Discipline is listed to be on the Oxygen Ch. There is nothing showing if NBC. will be having ALL the Disciplines. Does anyone know what's up? Are they making you only see the Pairs,Dance,and Men (if your a fan of that,LOL) On-line? Like there pulling with the Grand Prix? Did anyone else notice this? Thanks.

Yes, it looks like only the Ladies free skate will be on NBC (live). Oxygen is a subscription cable channel on TV that's affiliated with NBC and they are broadcasting the other events.

At least U.S. Nationals will be on NBC starting on Jan. 24 -- here's the link to Heather W's U.S. TV skating schedule: http://heatherw.com/mk/sch.htm

WHAT!!!!!!?....THAT IS NOT FAIR!!!! What kind of Broadcasting is THAT?!!!! It's good that NBC. IS Broadcasting those 2 Events LIVE!! But what are the Networks doing spliting up the Disciplines and giving the Broadcast rights of TWO of the BEST dISCIPLINES to a DIGITAL PAY Station...while NBC. only get's half the job!!! Sounds like a way for the cable stations to be getting you on the Digital switchover to me. What does everyone else here think? Gee I hope we get to SEE Pirs and Dnce this year. BTW. anyone know the deal on the Broadcast of the World Synchro. Championships? Thanks.

There should be some coverage of the U.S. Nationals Pairs and Dance events on NBC -- just be sure to watch/tape/DVR all of their coverage.

BTW. anyone know the deal on the Broadcast of the World Synchro. Championships?
Not sure yet. Icenetwork is scheduled to webcast the U.S. Synchro Championships but Synchro Worlds is not listed on their webcast schedule.
