A 2014-15 schedule combining both NBC broadcast listings and Universal Sports listings is in a USFS press release today:
I have updated the NBC listings in the OP -- with the new times for Skate Canada International, the GPF, and the Apr 12 broadcast of Worlds.
Thought:

Is it unusual that the schedule in the press release includes zero Universal Sports coverage of Skate America??? :think:
For other GPs, Universal Sports is showing Men's and Ladies SPs, Pairs FS, and FD.
