https://www.tsn.ca/2018-19-figure-skating-schedule-on-tsn-ctv-1.631528
https://skatecanada.ca/2018-skate-canada-international/ will give you the RDS scheduled and the practice streaming scheduled

as for the Canadian stream on TSN It is usually on their website and from what I understand GEO blocked.

Outside of Canada you can probably watch it on the isu.org skating channel but in Canada I think CTV/TSN own the rights so it is not on CBC.

It's hard to tell because the listings on the Eurosport Player do not agree with the event schedule.

And for that reason, although I did make out my usual Eurosport schedule post based on the listings on the Eurosport Player website, and posted it in the TV thread in The Edge, I am not actually going to copy it into this thread this time around.

It would cause more confusion than it's worth.

Practices will be live-streamed on Dailymotion but only available to those living in Canada, so it says on the channel

Hi - I've been taking a look and I agree it's confusing but it does actually line up: all four the short programs, at the times listed in that photo I linked on TV thread to the nearest five minutes, are scheduled on the Eurosport player. What's confusing is that there are other random 'figure skating: grand prix' listings (eg at 1500 UK time on E1) that don't match up - I presume these are replays from SA, or possibly last year.

So Thursday practices start at 8 am ET. SC says they will be streamed but no word about Daily motion. They only say thee stream is available only in Canada. apparently the stream will be on SC website click on live streaming (practices)

After checking the schedule, it is no sleep/little sleep on Fri/Sat and Sat/Sun for me if I want to watch live everything.

RIP sleep

Anybody knows when practices start? It must be Thursday, as far as I remember SC from previous years.

I've been looking at the dreaded ISU color coded schedule in hopes of arriving on time for the men's practice tomorrow. http://www.isuresults.com/schedules/gpcan2018_ColouredTimeSchedule.pdf Looks like the dance is the first up at 8 am. I'm primarily interested in the men's practices which start at 9:25 am and 3:05 pm. It's a LONG day if you go to everything. Ladies at 12:15 pm and 5:55 pm. This is easier to read and more detailed with the skating order.http://www.isuresults.com/schedules/gpcan2018_PracticeGroupsAndMusicRotation.pdf

The listings that just say "Grand Prix" are the event highlight shows. So, the one you mentioned is a repeat of the one from Skate America (it is being shown earlier on Friday morning as well). And the one on Monday night will be the one from Skate Canada.

But, it is after Friday that things start to go awry.

So, my advice is to use the coloured time schedule and a time converter to work out what times things are supposed to be on.

Then, you can just open the Eurosport Player 5 minutes before the segment is due to start, and keep refreshing the page until a stream appears. (Somebody is bound to realise by then that it's coming on).

The easier way would be to have the ISU livestream on Eurovision Sport open. But, I don't know if that option will be available for Skate Canada or not.

The Olympic Channel only broadcasts the events starting on the following Monday - so awful, what good does that do :noshake:

OK, I'm confused. I have NBC Sports Gold figure skating pass and it says I can watch the events on demand or real time. So the Oly Channel doesnt broadcast in real time? So that's why I dont have cable....

Does anyone know if there will be any kind of stream to watch the practices outside of Canada?

 

[Sabrina]

The streaming is on Skate Canada website, as I assumed. Yes, they started with Dance. Unfortunately it is available only in Canada, so I guess you need a VPN changer to trick the geo blocking.

And Ted Barton is commenting!

I couldn't get into Daily Motion from the Skate Canada site, so I went straight to Daily Motion. Here is the link for the practices

Me too! I got so excited because he gave me shout-out for my email saying there was no sound during group 1 dance

Youtube stream of mens practice, as far as I can tell no commentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpvmXc9SJE&feature=push-lsb&attr_tag=f7ZpFa4dnXRnxDFR:6

I think there is commentary, but just for reference it's running a little behind live (maybe 30s, maybe 1min).

I hope Shoma is okay - he seemed to be having boot problems....

Yes! I am watching a live stream by Ted Barton. It's awesome!!
