With the new launch by Skate Austria, an this being the first competition on there, I'd thought start a thread.
Maybe some people will be interested, also outside of central Europe.
What's the news?
Skate Austria launches a new platform for FS streaming.

“This is an important step for us. We want to offer organizers and participants a digital home for their events and competitions and are happy to have found the right partner in Solidsport.”, says Katharina Rauch, Secretary General of Skate Austria
Along with the streaming and video-on-demand platform, all clubs and organizers of the association can create their own channel and present their own content free of charge. Both live and as a repeat. In order to make it easier to get started with video and live stream production, Skate Austria partner Solidsport has its own broadcast app that can be used free of charge. But high-quality multi-camera productions are also possible and welcome.
“Figure skating and solid sports have been working very successfully in Scandinavia for many years. Especially for foreign participants and their fans, live streams are often the only way to share emotions live. We are therefore very pleased to be able to support the Austrian Figure Skating Association with our expertise and passion on the subject of live streaming", says Henry Blunck, Country Manager DACH, Solidsport GmbH.
In addition to the unlimited archive and relevant advertising options, Skate Austria LIVE also enables access to digital revenues through the optional payment barrier. Organizers can therefore offer their content for a fee and thus generate additional sales. This model consequently turns live streaming from a cost factor into a source of revenue.
“We hope to use the payment model to generate revenue for the promotion of young people. For our own events, but also for our clubs and partners, we see potential to improve the club budget by selling digital tickets. We are therefore consciously taking this step, which has a promising future for us.", says Christiane Mörth, President of Skate Austria
And what can I watch there?

most entries from Austria, Italy, Germany. But also some others here and there (only looked at Seniors and Juniors so far)
I know, with the CS and GP it's tight right now, but I think the streams will stay on demand as stated in the article
They hopefully keep it when they see there's interest there.

Skate Austria launches its own streaming service
The Austrian figure skating association Skate Austria is launching a live streaming and video-on-demand platform under the name Skate Austria LIVE. This is made possible by a partnership with the Scandinavian provider Solidsport.
For many years, videos and sometimes also live streams have been created in Austrian figure skating and distributed and offered on a wide variety of platforms. On Skate Austria LIVE, the range of moving images is now bundled and presented in a structured manner under the umbrella of the association. In the future, participants, relatives, fans and the media will find all video content live and on demand centrally on a uniform platform.“This is an important step for us. We want to offer organizers and participants a digital home for their events and competitions and are happy to have found the right partner in Solidsport.”, says Katharina Rauch, Secretary General of Skate Austria
