It is strong topic, but it is just so. There are people, who did not even know about this. This is what STLL has answered at they Facebook to somebody
"It is a pity YLE did not advertice this event because it is the product of their rival". I am quite sure there would have been local people, who could afford to go, maybe had wanted to go to the event see it at place or part of it, but how can they go if they don't follow this forum, rivals of this forum or local fed's (STLL) home pages, instagram or facebook. I know there are people who think the fed's sites is made only for skaters. YLE is national TV channel, which is financed by taxes and anybody in Finland can watch it. FS is especially favourite of many older ladies, who don't want to order any extra channels. They just watch those which are free. Here is also a few other channels, which are free to watch and financed by ads. Maybe ISU got more money by selling rights to Viasport in Nordic countries, but they lost viewers, a lot of them.
Edit: if this topic is better to discuss somewhere else, please move I wasn't sure where was the right place to open this thread but I hope we can discuss about this issue.
Edit2: Not discovery, it was VIASPORT, would moderators please correct the topic because I cannot do it myself.
