Over 110 competition days will be live streamed with the goal to increase accessibility and visibility of ISU Sports worldwide, particularly in markets where there is no broadcaster. Although the live stream will be available in a number of countries, geo-restrictions will apply in markets where TV rights are in place. The ISU will be publishing a “Where to watch” news with details of the geo-blocked territories ahead of each series and/or Event.
andchipzz Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 GP Series will be streamed in youtube?? WAOW WAOW WAOW. Oh, luckily, Yuzu's musics are not pop music or we will end up watching mute program. lol

Interesting if there will be an archive, it's not like you can follow everything live.
Paskud Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Now I can't wait for ISU official stream to get copyright strikes in the middle of competition because of skaters music.

tafattsbarn Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Wow, the isu is actually doing something good for once? Glad to know they are taking care of the one (1) braincell they have left bouncing around up there

I just hope that Europe will be covered by that, but I do think so. And it will be free! I actually expected that there would be a paid streaming service. Thank you for the news! I was checking any news on broadcasting just a few hours ago and there was still nothing. I was starting to panic just a little bit because the GPs are starting in three days. And Skate Canada in ten days... I hope that they also broadcast practices! Please also broadcast practices!!!
andchipzz Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 wait what about commentary? will it be something like ISU chosen commentators?

Having an official and legal stream on Youtube is a dream come true. I am even willing to pay for it if needed.
Paskud Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Well, they say it will be geoblocked. It can easily mean nothing for many of us.
Old Cat Lady Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Too bad they didn't announce this before I wasted money on that stupid NBC Gold, but I suppose that was the point. I don't blame the ISU in this case since I understand they need to prioritize the sport's financial interests, but I'm annoyed at myself because I don't even like NBC Gold but I decided that I'd rather pay the money that supports this shoddy product than learn something useful when I didn't even need it yet. Now I need to get off my lazy butt and finally figure out this VPN business.

There are ways to get around that though :> I'm happy there will be a stable (fingers crossed) option for everyone now! Credit where credit is due to the ISU for this one. They could do one better if the competitions were archived so you could go back and watch. Regardless though, this will hopefully help make the sport much more accessible.

There is a payed streaming service where I am, but I just about fell out of my chair when I saw the price! It's like three times the price of what eurosport was...*sigh*
