It looks like the annual COI broadcast has become another casualty of skating's declining ratings:

It's also a victim of ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 having to cover the NBA and the NBA playoffs (which start mid-April), in addition to Hockey playoffs and Baseball. They're overloaded this month. And next month.
Of course - that doesn't explain why TNT didn't step in and grab it.

I just emailed COI to inquire if they will be offering a video for sale of the 2003 tour. Hopefully they will get back to me.

When was it last on TV? I don't recall seeing a broadcast since some time in the mid-90s.

TNT used to broadcast COI. The last time was mid-April 2002.

Ah, that's why I've never seen it. I don't get TNT.

Anybody else have '98 on tape, from New Haven, CT?
The pre-Terry Gannon days... Brent Musberger and Dick Button, announcers.
On ABC and everything, not ESPN.
