I watched Saturdays NBC broadcast. Showed women's and men's SG. Decent coverage but sometimes the music was so load it drowned out the commentary.
Skiandsnowboard does suck. Can't even back up the feed like on Peacock. Commentators are lacking. The female US Ski teamers were good skiers but should not be allowed near a microphone.I don't see this situation improving anytime soon. Ski and Snowboard Live is a partnership between the USSS and Outside Interactive. Outside is financially distressed, having laid of 15% of their workforce last May and another 12% in November. Outside is also the parent organization for Nastar, who has increased their sanctioning fees from $2300 annually to $4600. The sad part of this is that the contractual agreement between USSS and Outside will run through the 2026 Olympics. I refuse to pay Ski and Snowboard Live. After being able to watch the WC events for free as a Comcast customer on Peacock or The Olympic channel. I am busy enough during the winter months that I will watch what I can and skip the rest, especially for an inferior product. The only way I can see anything changing is if everyone cancels their Ski ans Snowboard subscriptions. Loss of revenue will push the USSS to start talking to NBC Sports once again.

They could have the new female Howard Cosell and it wouldn’t matter. Because no one sees the races.a feel for how Goldschmidt and her C-suite level crew are trying to get more female voices to the fore in all USSS and USST goings on. I have a feeling that they really want to see new voices like Duran and Stiegler become more prominent figures in domestic TV and streaming coverage of races…
Without explanation I just received a partial refund from S&SLive …
Never heard Picabo, but she does have charisma. I vote Ed Drake, Doug Lewis, Porino, and Ligety.I always thought Picabo Street was okay except when she gave Mancuso crap for wearing the tiara. Julia‘s justice was to win the GS gold the next day . Vonn has also been good as a 2nd commentator & another name that most know.

I thought that was very cool but it took extra effort for me to focus mostly on watching the skier instead of the time on the side of the screen.What did everyone think of the continuous timing(rather than timing only at intervals)?
I thought I had added it to "my stuff" yesterday, got home to watch it and "poof" not there. Nobody cares if nobody sees it.If anyone finds today’s Men’s GS from Palisades Tahoe on Peacock please post here without race results. I just spent 15 minutes searching every way that I know and I find nothing except a super G listed for tomorrow. Tomorrow is supposed to be slalom. There is no super G till next week in Aspen.
I just got home from volunteering at a local masters race hoping to watch a replay of run 1 and then hopefully watch run 2 live. Again very disappointing, finally a domestic race and we can’t even watch it.
I posted this also on the mens WC page … sorry for the redundancy.If anyone finds today’s Men’s GS from Palisades Tahoe on Peacock please post here without race results.

Thanks for the information. Too bad I don’t subscribe to outside online and I’m not about to add another when peacock was supposed to cover this.The GS and tomorrow’s SL are aired LIVE on Outsideonline.com.
I don’t understand showing the podium for the cover still of a race video. Every single time! That’s just so stupid.Thanks for the information. Too bad I don’t subscribe to outside online and I’m not about to add another when peacock was supposed to cover this.
I am watching the second run now with great commentary from Ed Drake and his sidekick Nick Fellows. Too bad they show the podium as the cover photo to the video but here it is…
