What about Universal Sports on their TV channel?
Does anybody else find it extremely irritating that the ISU is streaming for free short track skating but is overcharging for the figure skating?
CCTV-5 stream:I searched the internet for the CCTV-5 TV schedule and google-translated the official site

Sigh, no wonder Figure Skating is getting less and less popular. At this age and stage, we still have to go search around to see WHERE we can watch a very important competition. What a shame.
What about coverage of the Junior World Championships?
IIRC, Universal Sports was offered to Comcast subscribers but then after the new year, they left Comcast and are now affiliated (not sure if that's the correct way to phrase it) with Dish Network. No Dish, No Universal Sports. I know this b/c I had a cable tech in my apt. shortly after the new year trying to figure out what happened to channel I was accustomed to getting Universal Sports on and after several hours of fooling around, we figured it out.

Wth?? As for CNTV, you will have to install some stuff to watch it. I didn't try. I'll watch Jsport, which is not available online. Can't say anything about how this works: http://sports.cntv.cn/live/index.shtmlThere is a report CCTV may not broadcast Men's SP. When I said they must do something about it, that was not what I had in mind.
CNTV should still have the full live coverage.
No idea what ISU is going to youtube. But I think Belorussian TV and maybe Russian will show some stuff. Wait a little. The TV program is usually up a week before the event.What about coverage of the Junior World Championships?
