Ouch, it seems our TV has Skate Canada scheduled. So no Youtube for me. I am dead.

But at least, they are streaming live, which is unusual, since men are at 3 am.

What network would that be, then? I thought the sole exception to the European rule are the nordic countries and Russia.

Yes, Czech TV. That's the one (in the list provided above), streaming all GPs this season. They usualy don't show GP though, sometimes GPF and Euro + Worlds of course. I guess it's because Uncle Brez is skating and FS is somewhat popular here for decades. 

Sadly, Czech commentary can be a bit... how to put it... our commentators are usually very neutral, often don't know much about skaters. The only time I've heard someone praising Yuzuru without any "but", was last Worlds Gala. Even with other skaters, I think our commentators are just careful not to praise any "non-Czech" skaters too much.

 

I have no idea, if it is possible to watch without commentary, or if it is blocked, but I guess, since it is Czech TV, it will be accessible only locally.

Let's hope that either NBC streams the galas this season or the ISU doesn't geoblock US fans from the gala livestream. There's no reason for people who pay to access their country's broadcast to still be relying on VPNs or random Russian streams to watch any part of an event. (No, I did not enjoy frantically searching for a stream to watch Yuzu's galas at the last minute.)

Since Eurosport  and Romanian TV are not showing s..t of FS this season I'm back to my old mate:

https://soyouwanttowatchfs.com/post/188354466370/2019-gp-skate-america-cs-minsk-arena-ice-star

There are lots of stream links in there. I hope I'll find one that works for me since I'm not sure that ISU YT stream works for Romania. Eh, we'll see ... it really sucks that Eurosport doesn't show FS anymore ... ugh

Well, Slovakia (RTVS) has got the TV rights but in the TV program there is nothing FS related for this weekend, not even a delayed broadcast or any recap :(

I really hope the YT stream won't be geoblocked for us, otherwise it's much worse compared to having eurosport.

Are you able to watch the Czech one, or is it restricted? I can watch your TV, it would be odd, if it(our programs, I mean) was restricted for you. 

 

Edit: On the other hand, one can never be sure. Recently, I've watched a Czecho-Slovakian movie, that was dubbed in Czech. Shocking experience. :68468287: Anyway, try to watch on CT Sport, if you don't mind Czech commentary.

Yes, we can watch all your channels, too, but only on TV.  On the internet ČTV is always geoblocked for us :(  And unfortunately, I don't have any TV, I've never really needed it.

:smiley-shocked032: That's adding a whole new level to this world's insanity. I am able to watch your :2 right now on the internet, but not :1. They are blocking probably only some programs, depending on the bought rights, at least for us. No idea, what is ČTV doing with the restrictions. I thought, they would allow you to watch probably the ČT original programs at least, or other that you have rights for... 

 

Well, one is learning new things every day. :68468287:

These are all the broadcasters, countries not listed I guess are able to watch on the ISU YT channel. Well, it s only logical, I assume... This is from the email I got from ISU.

Well UK is not on list of European countries geoblocked.  Are they classing us in or out of Europe though?
