CBC is geoblocking! Why, what's the point?! Peacock and NBC geoblocking should not affect other countries who have access to the ISU channel's GP coverage. Is YouTube trying to get people to sign up to their exorbitant subscription channel?!There's an ongoing issue with geoblocking, apparently the JGPF streams are being geoblocked same like the senior ones despite not being aired anywhere else
AFAIK ISU is already looking into it, but still sucks for us as it leaves us no other option than VPN to non-blocked countries (New Zealand, Belgium for example)

CBC is geoblocking the event from being seen across the border in the U.S. Out of luck without VPN, which is ridiculous.
The CBC is not doing that.
Aren't the senior events being made available on the ISU Channel, or did some other broadcaster purchase the rights, i.e., NBC, in order to geoblock?There's an ongoing issue with geoblocking, apparently the JGPF streams are being geoblocked same like the senior ones despite not being aired anywhere else

But the sugar rush from the brownie might help you stay awake a moment longer...
I had a brownie... the piece that wasn't fitting the container...
Who's doing it, then, YouTube?
The Grand Prix Final is geoblocked in countries like the US where there is domestic broadcast rights, and the Junior Grand Prix Final events seem to be blocked by accident as a result.
your own American broadcasters are the ones to blame. Why would the CBC have anything to do with what you can watch in the USA ?
You are absolutely wrong. Here's the truth:
And yet nothing in Canada is geoblocked, and the geoblocking of the Junior Grand Prix Final in the US has nothing to do with the CBC.
and I am telling you right now that I am watching this on YouTube and it's not geoblocked for Canadians... Did you get your info from AI ?
It does, clearly, as it states that the ISU sold exclusive rights to the CBC. In general, Canada is very lenient in allowing access to most of their competitions on Dailymotion, which is greatly appreciated. In this instance, due to the ISU selling exclusive rights to Canada for the JGPF, the event is being geoblocked. Why do you keep saying it's not CBC's fault? Both CBC and ISU are responsible for the geoblocking.
I never said it is geoblocked in Canada! It is not available on the ISU channel in the U.S. All the videos indicate that it is 'not being made available by the owner in your country.' For me, that means the U.S. Of course, Canadians have access in Canada because CBC owns the rights.
Skate Canada events are on Dailymotion. That's a different animal completely.
I did not say it is geoblocked in Canada. It is just not being made available in other countries, unless fans have access to a VPN!Skate Canada events are on Dailymotion. That's a different animal completely.
ISU events for which rights have been purchased by CBC are found both on CBC and available on YouTube for Canadians. There is no geoblocking of skating for Canadians at all.
If you want to try it... get a VPN for Canada and you will find the competition on Youtube ... like for all Canadians. CBC is a public broadcaster : we pay taxes for this (they get grants) so they don't need to block things like NCB or Peacock because there are no paid subscriptions for CBC. It's FREE. I find it relatively interesting that you would argue how this works with two Canadian guys who are actually living in Canada and watching this event on unblocked YouTube
they don't sell exclusive rights to the JGP season but they do for the finals because it's combined with the seniors. It's simple logic.
I am not arguing anything. It clearly states that the ISU sold exclusive rights to the CBC, (senior events are available on NBC/ Peacock in the U.S. by subscription). The junior events are not owned by NBC/ Peacock. Apparently, the junior events were sold to CBC and perhaps Asahi TV purchased both junior and senior GP events.Skate Canada events are on Dailymotion.
