Eurosport - Grand Prix Series?

[Koboldspike]

German Eurosport won't broadcast the Grand Prix-Series. I wrote them an Email and they answered that they will only broadcast the Golden Skate Award and another Show.

Oh, no, I don`t believe it! I was so happy last year that eurosport broadcasted the Grand Prix series, and now this... Was looking forward for Cup of Russia especially (obviously because of Plushenko`s participation). Sigh! Well, let`s hope for some vids on you tube then, but it`s not the same exactly...

Does it mean that europeans that purchase a subscription from icenetwork won't be longer blacked out? my friends will love to hear so.

Subscription from icenetwork??? Please explain!

 

[Tonichelle]

sounds like they had to dump the figure skating coverage to add the sport of paint drying...

Exactly! I totally wouldn't mind paying the subscription fee if the coverage includes lthe GP! I'm surprised Eurosport does no coverage of the GP; I enjoyed it so much last season!!

Today Teledeporte said that they won't show a thing of the GP (They used to broadcast TEB, CoR and GPF) because they're angry with the ISU for giving the GP to Eurosport the past year.

What good does that do? I doubt ISU realy gives a rip. Once again the fans suffer!

I don't understand about rights, but I understand that Icenetwork is not for Europeans.

Maybe this gives some hope to watch something?

I am not paying for eurosport until next years euro/olympics/worlds. I am so frustrated knowing GP going on and not be able to watch it. :disapp:


sigrid; what is Teledeporte?

I wonder which channel in Europe got the GP then?

 

[GiuliaPlum]

Seems nonsense that no channels air GP in an Olympic season. Very disappointed.

yeah

Teledeporte is a spanish sports channel that always broadcasts a part of the GP, Euros , Worlds and OG. And some Christmas galas too... and that, in a country where the people think that only exist football (soccer), tennis or basketball, is a loooot

I think CCTV-5 will air at least some of it. It's free and it's online.

No Icenetwork for us Europeans. Again. I can understand that Icenetwork isn't interested in more European subscriptions, but it's really really sad that they just don't bother to think about us. Now Eurosport abondened figure skating the season suddenly looks a bit glum. Depending on online streams is stressful. I really wish there was a solution to this all. Anyone know how to hack IPadresses so my laptop can pretend it's located in Alabama or something...

The Canadian SkateBuzz site (www.skatebuzz.com) is apparently streaming the complete TEB competition. I just registered (it's free), although I don't know if registration is necessary to view the stream. The registration process involved entering my address and that required me to pick my country from a long list of choices. So you could certainly access the site and register without a problem. However, I don't know if you can see the stream if you are outside Canada. I suppose it is worth trying though.

Thanks for that. It says you have to pay to subscribe but you can try free subsribtion for 3 days, does it really work? in this case I can subscribe on Friday when TEB starts. Does it work for all Evropean coutries?

 

[seniorita]

yes 3 free days work i think it works from everywhere, no?
