They used to. They used to show literally everything.

A great deal of the stuff is still on the website-it just isn't linked yet through the new interface. You can often find the old stuff via Google. Sign in to IN first though, because the login through the old stuff is dicey.
Usually the exhibitions show up after the GPF.
And more old events are being uploaded...I don't know how far back they are going to go.
I do like the quality of the streaming better, but everything else is worse.

I really do think the streaming is improved - but that is it! If I want results for sectionals, or Nationals before 2013 I end up going to google and I never had to do that before.
Maybe (very big maybe) they will eventually get the rest of the archives linked in, but what about all the articles....I'm not real happy about IN!

IN articles -- going much further back than 2013 -- are reachable via Google (or presumably other search engines), just like IN videos and event results.
Or at least some of the IN articles from past years will show up in search results.
To limit results to IN, don't forget to use the following search term

I remember when SkateBuzz announced its "hiatus" (my word) way back when. After a looong time had passed with no signs of life, I assumed that the hiatus eventually (and quietly) had become permanent.
But it was only my assumption. Do you know whether SkateBuzz ever claimed that it had returned to normal operations?

It does make you wonder why, if skaterbuzz is dead, they don't just stop paying for the website and let it disappear.

I would describe SkateBuzz as a companion website to Skate Canada's own. SkateBuzz was a separate dotcom for news, interviews, videos, etc.
In that sense, it was sort of analogous to IceNetwork and its official relationship to U.S. Figure Skating, although I don't know whether SkateBuzz was intended to be a money-making endeavor. Don't remember whether SkateBuzz sold subscriptions, but much, if not all, of its content was free, IIRC. (I myself never had a subscription.)
As you can tell, the truth is that SkateBuzz effectively "died" so long ago that my memories of it are very fuzzy -- maybe someone else will have a better/different description.
The type of content that SkateBuzz used to offer now seems to appear right on skatecanada.ca and/or on Skate Canada's YouTube channel, etc.
ETA, the message posted at SkateBuzz.com (the same message that has been there for an eternity, it seems):
SkateBuzz is currently unavailable as we redesign a new an improved fan site!

I think Ice Network subscription is a huge bargain. I can't think of any purchase I make is as good a deal. If my wife & I decide to attend Nationals for the seventh consecutive year, it will cost MORE for one "cheap seat" for a single session than I pay for ALL of the figure skating events for a year! And I only have to turn on the IMAC with a cushy front row seat. No hotel bill, no scheduling flights and airports, no freezing arena. No junk food. And I see instant detailed results in the comfort of home. Thanks Icenetwork!! (I may just skip Boston. For sure, Sochi and Worlds will be viewed in the comfort of our home!)

I am with you. Yes, the streaming is better but that has nothing to do with the interface. The old one was intuitive. Go to the competition, or find an old comp you want to re-visit, click on the comp and you get the choice of results and/or videos....it was fast.
Even I could do it.....
Now, you go to Schedule and results, click figure skating, under 2013 NHK click "more", click "more" again, and there is Ladies free, Mens free, and dance free....no pairs, no shorts...click "more vids" and you go to one of the existing vids...there are blue charactors you can click on to at least get results....I am a member of USFSA so I get treated like this for only $24 but I will nicely give them my two cents at Boston.....this interface is the answer to a question nobody asked...
