I have channel 162? Imagine that! That's the Universal Sports channel where I live that will provide coverage of Skate America. I'm one of those TV watchers that grew up with five channels, so with the advent of cable and hundreds of channels available to me, you know rest, I still watch only five channels. Now I'll watch six.
I was planning on watching the competition on icenetwork.com, but hey, it's always nice to have another option. The times are a little strange (12-2 a.m. for men's free skate? For Johnny, I'll do it!), but that's why we have TiVo. I like watching skating with a group of friends, with several tubs of popcorn on hand, so I wasn't sure how we were going to crowd around my computer screen (as large as it is). Universal Sports answered that question for me.
Areas that Universal Sports channel is currently up on include New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Hartford, San Diego, Las Vegas, Omaha, Albany, and Reno. I hope you guys found the channel -- It only took me 25 minutes yesterday, and eureka! Snowboarding from 2007 was on.
