Please g*d let there be at least the ISU JGP channel with no commentary while the skater's still skating. This was the last bastion for me.
I absolutely hate hate hate hate hate commentary, and if icenetwork is going to add commentary to all the broadcasts then there is no reason to pay them, when I can just wait for Russian commentary vids to show up on youtube. At least I can't be made utterly nauseated by commentary I don't understand.
I truly, deeply, madly appreciate the fact that Ted Barton does not talk while the skater is skating. Thank you, Mr. Barton, for all your excellent work so far.
That's what I do during the GP. I usually listen to videos or streams in Russian so I can focus on the skater and music since I don't understand Russian at all except when they say the names of the skaters.
