One always hopes that ESPN knows what it will broadcast and when, but they have been known to change or postpone things. One of the Grand Prix events was postponed - I think Cup Of Russia. So......always check everthing. Including the local listings pages. As I found out about the live ABC coverage of the US Nationals Ladies, the local station could have made alternate plans. I would have missed recording the ladies free skate if I hadn't checked the local listings.
