First Nationals anyone but Ken? I don’t think so…

 

[CellarDweller]

 

[CellarDweller]

Well, thank God that Peacock fixed their stream again! the choppiness and out-of-sync audio was working my nerves!

 

[labgoat]

NBC still on the ladies - listening to Amber say to her coach that she was so scared.

 

[labgoat]

Are we going to skip some of the men?

 

[MFarone]

Does anyone know if qq will be showing the Men's SP? Would the link be the same?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Does anyone know if qq will be showing the Men's SP? Would the link be the same?

I certainly hope so! It was less glitchy for me last night than Peacock was today for the RD.

 

[CellarDweller]

It looks like Peacock fixed the stream, and men should be starting soon.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Are we going to skip some of the men?

I think the men are supposed to start at ~18 minutes after the hour. I hope all of them will be on Peacock.

 

[MFarone]

I really do not like the NBC broadcast...too many commercials and too much chatting. I have been watching the qq stream and like it quite alot.

 

[labgoat]

Does anyone know if qq will be showing the Men's SP? Would the link be the same?

yes syncing with the nbc feed - same address

 

[cheerknithanson]

Why are they showing some pairs on Peacock?

 

[MFarone]

Why are they showing some pairs on Peacock?

Peacock is streaming the NBC broadcast which is on tv. Right now I think they are just filling up time until the Men's SP starts in about 10 or 12 minutes.

 

[celiabiche]

Same situation as the women’s short yesterday? Guess we r getting a later start

 

[labgoat]

Well who are we rooting for, looking forward to seeing when the men finally start?
Did anyone watch the practices?

 

[Joan1940]

Peacock is streaming the NBC broadcast which is on tv. Right now I think they are just filling up time until the Men's SP starts in about 10 or 12 minutes.

I hate that NBC which owns Peacock decides to switch to the NBC feed & we get the blab fest of Tara & Johnny. Between the skaters music & their constant commentating I often can't enjoy the skate. I have switched to close caption & for some reason I find the blab fest is less intrusive.

 

[celiabiche]

Okay perf we are starting

 

[labgoat]

Oh are we finally going to get going at last...
