Does anyone know if there will be any tv coverage? I thought Universal Sports was airing some programming, but haven't seen anything specific.

I believe NBC proper will be doing a broadcast on the weekend.

Also, icenetwork will have it on demand after the NBC broadcast.

When I was still able to get Universal Sports, if NBC was broadcasting, sometimes it wouldn't be on US sports till the next day after NBC?

BBC Coverage of Worlds

From BBC website.

Figure Skating: World Championships Highlights
Sue Barker presents coverage of the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships from London, Ontario in Canada.

With just a year to go before the Winter Olympics in Sochi, competition will be fiercer than ever. At last year’s championships, Italy’s Carolina Kostner was the star, winning gold in the ladies’ free, while Canadian sensation Patrick Chan won his second successive world title in the men’s event. There will be highlights of all four free programmes – the pairs, men’s, ladies’ and the ice dance. Sue will be joined by 1980 Olympic champion Robin Cousins.

Sunday 17 March
4.00-6.00pm
BBC TWO and BBC HD

Live coverage listed so far for BBC Online and Red Button:

Friday 15th March

1545-1930 World Figure Skating: Pairs Free
2145-0230 World Figure Skating: Men's Free
0230-1430 World Figure Skating: Men's Free Repeat (red button only)


For those of us who no longer have Eurosport International since it went digital. :disapp:
(And who get frustrated by unreliable streams). :bang:

Waiting for the rest of the live BBC online/red button coverage to be announced (for Sat or Sun). But disappointing that BBC is only beginning coverage from Friday onwards when the event starts on Wednesday.

I'm glad Universal Sports is showing everything live, but I don't understand why they have 3 hours devoted to each of the short programs but only 1.5 hours for the long programs! That makes no sense.

I have UniversalSports, but I may have to toggle between US and TVTeka. However, after having announced a lot of coverage for JW, Russian Eurosport2 showed other stuff instead. I was lucky to find a working URL for British Eurosport for the junior ladies FS.

CBC (Canadian) Online coverage

This looks like it will be full live coverage on the CBC website.

They tend to include archives of broadcast coverage under videos (two shows from Junior Worlds are currently available). Great for watching if you miss the live coverage or you want to follow up a day of watching live skating by watching it all again.

Doris,if you find any direct reference to this, I sure would like to set my DV-R but I see no coverage by NBC what so ever....please prove me wrong.....

Will someone post NBC propers times? Heather Winfield does not have anything for Worlds. NBC is not covering this more extensively? Oh I hope I can pick up live feeds but I usually forget the odd times they happen. Is Ontario a diff time zone than east coast-gotta look at map, i guess. ill look thru thread to see if nbc coverage is happening. I cannot understand this-its Worlds!!!!

I have been 'searching' the website and can't find anything at all:-(

I saw an advert last week on Eurosportplayer uk when watching the World Juniors that they were covering it and finally found a schedule for that http://tv.eurosport.co.uk/tvschedule.shtml

First coverage seems to be 3 hours Live on Wednesday 13th March
23:00 UK time GMT
Figure skating
Live Figure Skating World Champs - Ontario - Men's Short (180min)

I watched the Juniors on my tablet and there were a couple of streaming hickups about two in an hour where I lost about 15 secs :-(?which I assumed were my tablet but I haven't had any 'freezes' on any other sports watching Australian open was fine, maybe the streaming glitches depend on where the original feed comes from? I will probably give it a try..

I'm not used to watching Skating live will 3 hours cover the whole of the event?

3 hours minimum is needed to complete each event, but if you're watching on Eurosport live, I'm sure they'll stay with it till the end, especially as it'll be in the middle of the night for European viewers.
