2015 US Nationals TV and Webstream Schedules

Sabinfire broadcast works fine for me at the moment in Sweden :) (some buffering earlier) Does this mean I can watch US nationals later on? If so that's amazing, hasn't happened since 2011. Thanks so much :thumbsup:
 
Okay, here's a summary of NBC Preview day #1:

Lots of Gannon/Weir/Lipinski in the studio, commentary/discussion, and a short analysis on Wagner's skating.

Focus almost entirely on Ladies, primarily Ashley and Gracie. Samantha and Courtney got a very brief mention.

Recycled replays of Wagner's GPF FS, Gracie's NHK SP, & Chock/Bates GPF FD.

Lots of hyped-up Ashley v.s. Gracie rivalry talk.

A youtube clip of the Shibs. Behind the scenes talk/clips of Weir/Lipinski, and several minutes discussion of general online social media.

Long fluff piece about Gracie.

Program ended at 5:55pm EST.

If all goes according to plan, yes, I hope to have a working NBC feed during U.S. Nationals.

Adding my two cents:

As promised, NBC did spend some time on ice dance before getting to the ladies. On-camera comments from the Shibutanis and Chock/Bates. Even Hubbell/Donohue and Hawayek/Baker were mentioned, and brief snippets of video of them shown.

Although the soundbites from Wagner were separated into topical chunks, my guess is that she got as much total air time as the longish fluff piece about Gold.

Edmunds was briefly mentioned, and .... I am thrilled :yay: that Weir predicted that Nagasu :yay: will win the bronze :yay:.

Replaying the programs from C/B, Wagner, and Gold was fine by me. :) (I'm sure all of us voluntarily have rewatched notable programs on the web, and I was happy to see these three.)

Thx for everything, sabinfire. :)
 
I watched it tonight and I watched it with my mom for a bit. And she asked me questions and I was able to answer them in good detail.

Can't wait for them to talk about the men's tomorrow. Hopefully my family won't be home when they feature Jason because I might scream in a fangirling way LOL.
 
Thanks for the additional info regarding the brief Ice Dance coverage. NBC also discussed Davis & White for a bit (which I didn't mention, since they aren't at Nationals this year).

I hope the live NHL game and PGA Golf events don't run into the Preview coverage for tomorrow, 1/18. I think NBC could still 'fix' a minor 10-15 minutes run-over from hockey, since the program today didn't run the entire hour-long timeslot, and NBC could skip a couple commercial breaks, or just go into PGA Golf a few minutes late. At least, that's my hope.
 
Thanks all for sharing! I hope some kind soul out there might be able to post the preview online at some point. All my efforts to stream it were failures. Either way it's great to hear from posters who did get to watch it. MUCH APPRECIATED!

I have the entire event recorded and will be upping the files shortly, for anyone who wants to view the preview show.
 
Yeah, I'm really sick of seeing them already, and I only watch them during the streams here.

Good preview so far. The C/B FD was a replay, but I support showing more Ice Dance on NBC, even if it is recycled. Not a big fan of the recycled Wagner FS from the GPF, with the same old commentary and all...

Oh well, hopefully we won't see too much more of it... :slink:

They should of just called it Ashley Wagner's road to Nationals.
 
I liked the preview show, except for Johnny's pompadour wig - so distracting and not a good look. I think they were playing up the Ashley vs. Gracie thing a bit much, but anything to drive ratings for Nationals, right? I would've liked to have seen some footage of the others they mentioned like Samantha and Courtney.

Glad they gave some time to the ShibSibs Youtube channel, which is such fun. I was surprised that Johnny gave Mirai his choice for Bronze. Aren't they good friends so may not such a surprise.

I laid around looking at Instagram all day and forgot to watch, so thank you thank you thank you in advance! 👍
 
Forgot about the NBC previews; was out anyway, and may be Sun. too. Will try to watch a recap somewhere.

A rant: IceNetwork stinks like an old Zamboni. I've tried to watch a couple events online today, and have yet to see a program all the way without multiple freezes. I don't think it's (only) my ISP speed. The streaming was bad enough last fall. Since they halved their price are more people are trying to access the webcast, and slowing it up?

I cannot envision a scenario where I would pay 50 cents for it again, let alone $50. :P
 
Okay, the previews are a bit tacky ("My rival went on to win Olympic gold...") but for some reason I find myself grinning anyway.

You mean this one?

My rival went on to win the Olympic games! (1080p HD)

Trying to get this massive 5GB file in 1080p HD into a size/quality that is more share-able is a bit of project. I will definitely be downgrading and using high compression when I post the entire video tonight.
 
DorisP thx for the tips, I'll see if it helps. (I'm using IE; when I stream on Chrome the sound is bad.)

With both the Aussie Open and nats this week, I also may try hooking pc to tv to view IN and watchespn on a bigger screen!
