Legacy On Ice | NBC 12PM CST Mar 30

[PullingForSasha]

It is in full 1080P, Broadcast (Terrestrial) TV and will look spectacular.
I saw the other two threads, but this is a bit different so I thought it was o.k. to post another one. I just found out, or I would have posted this earlier.
May they continue to Rest In Peace.

Wonderful and deeply affecting show. A highlight for me was Yebin Mok, Gracie Gold and Ashley Cain, now coaches, performing with the young skaters of the developmental team.

Jimmy Ma, that upbeat showman, pulled out a gem of a heartfelt performnce. Maxim Naumov not only skated with appropriate emption, but also delivered a performance worthy of the occasion.

Paul Wylie took the ice! Kristi Yamaguchi grows more beautiful every year. Peggy Fleming! Amber Glenn was a standout, tfor me.

Watched when live on Peacock, rewatched today was really disappointed NBC decided to edit out parts of the tribute.

Johnny Weir can still do a double Axel!

I knew that was going to happen even before it happened which is why I made sure to watch it live. The show was over two hours to begin with, and then you factor in commercials into a 2 hour broadcast window, things were always going to be cut.

Yeah, it can't really be helped. The TV network has it's own programming schedule to work around.

I did notice that the commercials were repeats of the ones that were shown over and over at Worlds, so I think we can thank NBC for lining up the continuation of sponsorship.

Is it okay to ask in general what they edited out? Of course it's no longer available to watch on Peacock anymore sadly.

LOVED IT. It made a wreck out of me at times.
On the tech side, IMO, that was the best camera work in figure skating that I have EVER seen. It was beautifully perfect!

I know that they took out Scott's prayer based on a comment from someone who was watching it again elsewhere on the internet.

They cut out where Max was talking about his parents and their favorite song when ever they heard it they would get up and dance. And that’s music he skated to.

No, they didn't. They kept Paul Wylie's entire intro in, where he mentioned them slow dancing to it. It was short, and right after a commercial break, but it's definitely there.

Cut Performances were:
Sofia Bezkorovainaya solo
Bratti and Somerville
Scott Hamilton
Capital Theatre on Ice
Jeremy Abbott
Glowing skaters

Some famous-skater intros were cut and they had Terry Gannon do them in voiceover instead, such as Ilia Kulik's. The only cut that really surprised me was Sofia's solo. But she was on the broadcast in the Coach Inna tribute.

Overall, it lost some (a lot?) of the stillness and breathing space that the livestream has, but that was to be expected. Terry did a commendable job with what he was told to say. There was no commentary during the skating. And I must admit that the picture/sound quality on regular NBC is GREAT. Crystal clear. Nothing can compare with watching the livestream, however.

Speaking of which, the livestream from March 2nd has reappeared on the public USFS YouTube. Not sure if it's temporary or not, but here you go. I don't know if it's geoblocked for anyone since I'm in the U.S.

Because this poem that Samuel Auxier wrote references some of the Legacy on Ice performances, I figured I put the link here. It's another one of those things that'll make you cry, so again, read it if you're in the right head space for it.

It's not geoblocked in Canada.

Nor in The Netherlands (and I presume in other EU countries)

If anyone wants to easily rewatch or share individual Legacy on Ice performances, all the individual program videos from the March 2nd livestream have also reappeared on the USFS YouTube channel. I'm not sure if it's forever, but I wasn't expecting them to come back at all, so I'm happy.

USFS made a LOI playlist. The full March 2nd stream is first, followed by the separate programs in the order they happened.
