I second this question. I feel like since they’re both under NBC they should continue to broadcast skating, but I wouldn’t past them not to to try and make some extra money. I feel like it will only drive people away though, I don’t want to pay extra for competitions I’m not going to watch. The Olympic channel was perfect for me.Thank you, but I did not subscribe to Ice Network. I didn't need to since my Dish includes NBC Sports and Olympic Channel. So my question is, will those 2 channels continue to show figure skating, or...do I have to subscribe to streaming NBC Sports?
You have to subscribe to NBC Sports Gold if you want the same streaming you used to get via Ice Network.
How long does it take for the on-demand portion to become available?
Not long. They put up the pairs video from Salt Lake City about 15 mins post competition, if that long.
I think I figured out why NBC Sports Gold app isn't available on smart tvs! My theory is that there would be no way to stop a bar or restaurant from downloading the app and working around the very expensive cable packages for showing sports like rugby or premier league football.
This discussion brought to you by me hanging out at my local discussing how they're not going to shell out money for a NFL package because it would be so expensive.
The app isn’t available on smart TVs because the TVs predate the app, and smart TVs have limited app capability. Get a Roku or similar device to plug into your tv. I believe something like this will work.

The thing that sucks about the IceNetwork shutting down is that all of the archives of past events in the last decade are gone. I was hoping that at least the site would stay open so they could be accessed. :sad46:
Really a shame. No links work anymore, and there were so many great articles. All gone now, it seems.
What’s the commentary situation like on nbc gold does anyone know? Is it Tara and Johnny or someone else?
