ESPN Coverage for GP Events posted!

[GMAN]

This is from IFS Magazine. It looks like they are increasing some of their coverage! All times are eastern. They haven't posted Cup of Russia or NHK Trophy TV times yet.

October 23 - Skate America 1-3pm (ABC)
October 24 - Skate America 9-11pm (ESPN)
October 30 - Skate America 1-2pm (ABC)
November 6 - Skate Canada 1-3pm (ESPN2)
November 7 - Skate Canada 9pm-12am (ESPN)
November 13 - Cup of China 2:30-4:30pm (ESPN2)
November 14 - Cup of China 9pm-12am (ESPN)
November 27 - Trophee Eric Bompard 2-4pm (ESPN2)
November 28 - Trophee Eric Bompard 9pm-12am (ESPN)

It looks like we'll be seeing short programs!! And Michelle's new SP at COC! (Maybe if she does it really well at SA they'll show it during ABC's broadcast. They haven't shown the ladies' sp at SA for a long time!)

Let's hope they finally show the SP's from SA!

WHAT!??!?! Wait a minute, these times are during the week of Skate America. This means we get coverage the SAME week of the event itself?!?? In a timely manner?! No way!!

Way to go, ESPN.:D

I'm still looking at my credit card and trying to decide if I can be sick on Friday Oct. 21...hmmmmmmm

I didn't see pigs but a very strange looking flock of different sized wild turkeys! (Honestly, they frightened me at first!)

Yes, I might have to be sick on the 21st as well! It'd be awesome to go!!!

Um, what about NHK Trophy? Maybe ESPN hasn't done scheduling for December or something.

Thanks G MAN. You're The Man. This is just great. Neither ABC nor ESPN has dropped their coverage, as some here have wondered. It looks like more coverage, the same week as the competition, AND you posted it first. Maybe that's a good luck sign for you as well :) . I hope it is.

Don't forget to let me know when your next competition is. I still have that story to tell you, but not until you're ready to compete again, ok? Like a day or two before, so it's fresh in your mind :) .

Edited to delete my custom signature, which is still way too long.

I hope it is expanded coverage,but keep in mind that ESPN does a lot of repeating,so what looks like more coverage might just be repeats. If they sincerely want to improve ratings,timely coverage is important. Some live coverage would be too cool.8)

I doubt it because after SA, it looks like one day will have two hours and the following day will have three hours for each GP event.

SNY, to answer your question in the other thread, nerdycool has posted I don't remember where I got it from... probably USFSA discussion board... but it lists Campbells as being aired Sunday, October 16 on ABC, from 1-3PM (I'm guessing Eastern time).

Amen to that! Thanks for the info!
