Hallmark TV change?

I just checked Heather's schedule and it says that the technical programs are being broadcase on Sunday afternoon and the artisitic is still on Saturday night. What gives? They are showing Scott Hamilton & Friends on Saturday afternoon instead. Why don't they just switch the two?

It does seem ridiculous to air Scott Hamilton & Friends on Saturday and wait to air the technical programs from the Hallmark event until after the interpretive free's have been aired. Not sure why, as you suggested, they can't put Hamilton's special on Sunday. Maybe it's too short of time between the short programs and the air time for them to get everything packaged and ready for broadcast?

I don't know the reasoning behind airing the competition this way...but my TV guide actually has ladies and pairs listed for Saturday night and men's listed for Sunday. Maybe they're dividing up the broadcasts differently? It does seem odd, though, that NBC is showing figure skating on both Saturday and Sunday, and chose to air them that way. Maybe the cost of two live broadcasts was deemed more than it was worth?

Heather's schedule lists four different events for that day. I hate when the networks decide to air everything all at once. It makes it hard to watch it all, especially when the programs overlap.
