And of course no mention of how anyone is supposed to watch this. And it's an IN article, so it would have been a perfect opportunity for them to say "See it live right here on Ice Network!" It is so beyond stupid that no one is going to be able to see this competition that they are hyping up so much.
I too wish that the comp were going to be streamed somewhere.
But for me, this article does not rub salt in the wound.
IIRC, it is not unusual for IN to preview comps that it has no intention of live streaming.
I do wonder how the live blogging from IN -- promised not by IN, but by Freezer Challenge social media -- will work.
Does it mean live tweeting? Or does IN have another mechanism for live blogging?

Excerpt from new post this afternoon on the Facebook page of the Freezer Challenge:
Icenetwork will provide FREE on-demand video, photos and news from the Freezer Aerial Figure Skating Challenge, which is set for Friday at the Colorado Springs World Arena.

Excerpt from new post this afternoon on the Facebook page of the Freezer Challenge:
... Unlike previous years, we will not live stream the Broadmoor Open and have decided not to live stream the Aerial Challenge as well. This decision was made after much deliberation. In the end, we believe that it is in the best interest of this exciting new event to showcase the results in an edited highlight package following the competition that will appear on icenetwork.com. With a new format, the testing of a new scoring system and the venue’s inconsistent internet connectivity, we feel it’s best to deliver a more fully produced presentation to help create even more interest in what we hope will become a fan-favorite event in the future! Stay tuned for more details and links to the highlight video when it becomes available. ...
