... On the bright side, we get 3 hours of total coverage between NBC & NBCSN. And the 2-hour NBC broadcast (without a completed Men's event yet) is bound to have 'unusual' coverage, probably some Dance and Pairs included. Some short programs too, I'd imagine.
As you predicted, the NBC press release today says:
"Sat., Feb. 20 4 p.m. Ladies’ free skate, men’s short program"
Happy to see that Mirai :luv17: is mentioned along with Gracie in the headline of the press release.
Men's FS airing on cable overnight on Monday morning (should be Feb 22nd?)... Abysmal TV ratings guaranteed ....
The NBC press release does not clarify the NBCSN schedule, IMO.
The release says, "Sun., Feb. 21 Midnight Men’s free skate."
So does that mean it starts the minute after Sat Feb 20 11:59 pm??
Or the minute after Sun Feb 21 11:59 pm??
(I agree that the latter would be more logical, because it would mean that tape of the final group of the Men's FS could be shown.)
BTW:
Three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir, 1998 Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski, and Andrea Joyce will host coverage of the event on NBC and NBCSN. 2014 Olympic ice dance gold medalist Charlie White, three-time U.S. champion Michael Weiss, and Jason Horowitz will host coverage on Universal HD.
