2024-25 U.S. Figure Skating Broadcast Schedule on NBC Universal & Peacock

[Sylvia]

TV/DVR reminder: NBC's 2-hour recap broadcast starts soon on the East coast.

No Terry Gannon again this week - Chock/Bates' FD will be shown.

Starting with Kaori's SP (eta) then Men’s FS starts with Matteo Rizzo.

ETA - the total number of full programs shown today was 12 (Sakamoto’s SP, the top 5 men’s & women’s free skates and C/B’s FD).

Tiles are up for Finlandia. Nothing yet for sectionals. Is there an official list of competitors for sectionals yet? The results sites don't have them.

No, we have to wait for the 3 Sectional starting orders to be published online. The skaters/teams with byes to Nationals in Senior and Junior are posted in each of the 4 U.S. news threads by discipline in GSD. ETA: I’ve also shared a list of the top Senior men projected to be in each Sectional.

Are Sectionals & Pairs/Dance Finals for Sr & Jr being shown on Peacock? I don't see them listed in the initial press release and there aren't any tiles for those events on Peacock and the USFS' website doesn't show any streams at all - not on Peacock or the USFS' YT channel.

 

[Sylvia]

I guess we shouldn't assume anything these days - I'll see what I can find out on Monday.

 

[YukiNieve]

Will the US Sectionals be on Peacock or somewhere?

Just confirmed to me - Senior/Junior events on Peacock and Novice & below on USFS' YT channel.

"All practices will be live streamed on Peacock then posted on the U.S. Figure Skating YouTube for 24 hours after the practice session ends. All practices will feature commentary from Jean-Luc Baker."

FYI, going back to 2024 Skate America, the Rinkside practice cam replays have been added back to USFS YouTube channel (under the Live tab), and for at least some of the programs, music is not muted .

(I was sad when these replays disappeared after 24 hours -- I had a chance to catch only bits of Jean-Luc Baker's very informative commentary -- and am happy that they once again are available.)

Just confirmed to me - Senior/Junior events on Peacock and Novice & below on USFS' YT channel.

Fantastic news! Thank you for getting confirmation!

Just confirmed to me - Senior/Junior events on Peacock and Novice & below on USFS' YT channel.

Here is a pleasant surprise: Also on USFS YouTube channel are videos for Junior Men SP at Pacific Coast Sectionals.
They were uploaded last night, meaning Thursday Nov 14. The competition took place on Wednesday night Nov 13.
(The Peacock replay still is available too -- expires tonight, meaning Friday.)

On YouTube as of now are individual videos for seven (of the eight) Junior Men: Ryan William Azadpour, Vaclav Vasquez, Aaron Li, Nicholas Brooks, Arsen Meghavoryan, Ryedin Rudedenman, and Ethan Kormanyos.
The only missing SP: Sergei Evseev, who was last in the starting order on Wednesday.

The YouTube videos at least for Vaclav Vasquez, Ryedin Rudedenman, and Ryan William Azadpour have their real program music (as opposed to substitution of something else).
(I have not double-checked the other YT videos.)

I don't know how long the individual U.S. Sectional videos that have been uploaded, including today's, will stay up (audio could be muted or changed, too) - link to the Pacific Coast Sectional Singles Final playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-CheZaoFWwRYsCf-1CQAHv73MopZ0mP6
Eastern Sectional Singles Final & Pairs Final: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-CheZaoFWwT6ydO8Xhk1rn9wdWDmcb9O
(I may try to post links to some of my favorite performances - IF still available to watch on YT - in the U.S. news threads by discipline in GSD.)

NBC Sports' taped Highlights show for GP Finlandia Trophy is scheduled for today, Sunday, Nov. 17, from 4-6 pm Eastern time with Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski: https://www.nbcsports.com/pressbox/...-prix-finland-this-weekend-on-nbc-and-peacock

Shoot. Missed it today. At least I have other recordings of Rino. Did Tara/Johnny happen to be more quiet during her skate? Or say anything illuminating.

Tiles for Mids/Dance Final are up on Peacock.

Tiles for Mids/Dance Final are up on Peacock.

But not for Cup of China which is happening in less than a week. I am getting concerned.

Don't blame you. However, there isn't a results page up on ISU either, but there is a practice schedule.

No need to be concerned - it’s only Monday.

Usually, they do them 2 weeks out which is why I am concerned.

At the start of the GP this season, yes, however as the season has worn on, they've been appearing much closer to the start of the event. It is strange, though, that they aren't up yet.

Tiles for Cup of China are up on Peacock this morning. I checked the times for ET and they are correct.
