I’m posting this a bit earlier than usual, because the second series of “Freeze” starts tonight on BBC3, and I wanted to include it in the post.
As usual, the BBC are only showing coverage of the Free Skate segments, and only on the Red Button channel. All are live, except for the Free Dance. Don’t worry, they are showing the Free Dance in full, but it is being shown a couple of hours after it finishes. The reason is that there is LIVE coverage of a women’s football match on the Red Button on Saturday night, and the start of the football overlaps with the final group of the Free Dance. And, of course, football takes priority over figure skating.
I have to say, I am impressed with the coverage we are getting of Worlds on Eurosport. Apart from the Gala, EVERYTHING is being shown LIVE on the linear channels! There is a snooker tournament being held in Gibraltar this week but, believe it or not, the figure skating is taking priority over it!
Admittedly, the linear channels are joining late a couple of times. But, all in all, it is a lot better than we have been used to in recent years. And I hope it is a sign of things to come.
Hope this helps
