Watching World Cup skiing in the US on TV... ??

Well last season was great if you had the right channels. I think they showed just about everything, though some were on a delay. I'm hoping between the Olympic channel and NBCSN it ends up about the same this season. I don't think things were clear last year until the season got going either, but I'm not sure about that.

Thanks!!

Note that the link has the fuller schedule through 2019 too... looks like most events will be on the Olympic channel, NBCSN, or NBC, except for :

Solden
Semmering
St. Anton
Schladming

Kitzbuhel will also only be live on NBC Sports Gold and shown on NBCSN the next day... and a bunch of others will be shown on tape delay later in the day, or the next day.

interesting how all WC events held in Austria will not be on TV live in the States, but part of the streaming NBC Gold package. Guessing OSV , which owns the rights, wanted too much money for NBC to broadcast live on TV.

"Among the events exclusive to NBC Sports Gold are the season-opening races in Soelden, Austria, on October 27-28. Further details will be announced Monday, Oct. 22."

If anyone sees anything about details announced today, please post.
Thanks

YouTube TV also gives you access to NBC and all the major networks for $35 a month. You get a ton of other channels and have unlimited cloud based DVR'ing.

Haha I'll eat crow on that one. $70 isn't so bad. They did a good job with the Olympics.

We used to watch the Tyson and other fights on HBO then when it went ppv we went to the bar to watch the big fights then it became even more expensive and we stopped watching. Lots of other stuff on. Too bad though.

Historically my problem has been that many of the offerings were predicated on having a cable tv subscription, which I don't. It LOOKS - but doesn't appear to state explicitly - that this is not the case for this "snow pass." So, thinking about it.

From this page https://www.nbcsports.com/gold/faq :

"NBC Sports Gold is available on iOS and Android phones and tablets, desktop web browsers, Apple TV (Gen 4), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast devices connected via HDMI."

It's a true streaming service ("Snow Pass" is just one of the NBC Sports Gold sub-packages)... you don't need a TV at all. I'd suggest a Chromecast being an easy and pretty cheap way to stream it to your TV if you want to. I used one for that for a while with some streaming items before I got a smart TV, including actual Olympic events since NBC offers only streaming for a lot of those.

Trying to get World Series tickets in LA but right now decent seats start at $3,000/pr. Funky bleacher seats where during the regular season it isn't all that safe are almost $2,000 a pair.

In today's world I'll pay $70 for that schedule.

Overall, I agree. But if you have access to the cable channels then you're paying $70 for the Austrian races. Love to watch Soelden, Schladming, etc but not sure it's $70 worth of love.

Well I get DirectTV which has declined ever since they were purchased by AT&T. Xfinity was so, so much better in just about every way. We don't even get NBC in the greater SLC area because they've been in failed negotiations for months. I haven't checked recently but I think you have to buy another tier. So unless someone can explain how I can get the equivalent channels on DirectTV it's much more all or nothing.

BTW, my current arrangement will be my last long term tv commitment. In the future it will be all streaming all the time for all media content.

Anybody know what is going on ?

I have the same question. Last night, out of the blue (it's nowhere near my bday or xmas), my wife tells me she got me a subscription. Gives me the username, password, and even saves the homepage as a favorite on my phone. Her only request is that I don't watch in the bedroom, at least not when she's in the room as well. I didn't mention a thing; I didn't even know about this service.

Yes, I do. You've got yourself a keeper.

Agreed! That's a very nice surprise, IMO, @karlo ...
