Will we be able to watch it all on one channel this year? Or will there be a mess like last year?
Was it a mess? IIRC, I watched all of Russian Nationals last year on ESPN. In fact, it's still on-demand here:

There was drama. No one knew about the ESPN broadcast and people from Russia were blacked out.
Well...where are your jumpamatron videos this season? topic:
I'm not sure what you mean by "no one knew about ESPN." That's what I was watching, and it was being widely discussed here on GoldenSkate. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I tend to remember frustrations when streams don't work, or are blacked-out, etc.
It is possible that many folks in various part of the world (that do not post on GS) may have had issues receiving a broadcast of Russian Nationals and didn't know about alternatives such as ESPN.
I can only share my experience. I have to say, out of all the large figure skating events last year, Russian Nationals was the most simple one for me to watch of all. I did not have any geo-blocking issues with ESPN, didn't have to pay any fees, and the stream was complete and reliable throughout the entire comp! :thumbsup:
Has anyone really wanted to see much of anything? I did post a Maria Sotskova Jumpamatron during the JGP series, and the other day I put up an Elena Radionova 'Open Your Eyes' montage (which was more work for me than most Jumpamatrons I've made).
I don't know if it's a lack of inspiration or lack of ideas, just haven't felt motivated to crank out video edits at the same pace as last season. Maybe it's still early in the season and that's part of the reason... but I would like to get back to making those kinds of videos again.

Any idea if ESPN will be covering Russian Nat this year?
